A funnel is a tool that is used to pour liquids or powders into a narrow opening. It is made of a cone-shaped piece of metal or plastic with a wide mouth and a small opening at the bottom.
Funnels are used in many different situations, such as when you are cooking and you need to add ingredients to a jar or when you are cleaning and you need to pour the cleaning solution into a small bottle.
Funnels are important because they help to prevent spills. When you use a funnel, the liquid or powder flows smoothly into the narrow opening, without spilling over the sides.
The cook used a funnel to pour the flour into the mixing bowl.
Noun: funnel, funnels.
Verb: funnel, funneled, funneling.
