Hint of the Day: Kitchen Funnel in a Pinch

If you need to pour salt, pepper, or spices into their shakers, just grab any small piece of clean paper: your shopping list, a coupon, or a post-it note all work well. Roll it into a funnel, and tape or pinch in place.

My salt and pepper shakers have very small necks, so any kitchen funnel I could buy would be too small, anyway. This homemade funnel, however, can be rolled to just the right size, and I can easily slide the opening wider to clear up jams as I pour.
