A Food-Safe Paper Funnel for Dry Ingredients

A clean sheet of food-contact paper can form a temporary funnel for dry ingredients. Ordinary mailing envelopes are not intended for this job.

Make a simple cone

1. Use clean baking parchment or another paper explicitly suitable for food contact. Roll it into a cone.
2. Adjust the opening to the ingredient and jar neck. Keep any tape or fastening outside the food path.
3. Hold the cone securely above the jar and pour slowly in small amounts. Use a wider funnel for larger ingredients.
4. Discard the paper after use. A washable food-safe funnel is better for regular use.

Avoid unsuitable materials

Do not use mailing envelopes, printed paper, reused packaging, or paper with unknown glue or coatings. A paper cone is for dry ingredients, not hot liquids or oily mixtures.
