A combined measuring cup, funnel and strainer utensil (10) includes a main body (12) having a sidewall (18) defining an upper opening (20) and a lower opening (22). Material may flow through the upper and lower openings to funnel the material. An abutment flange (32) extends outward from the sidewall, and may act as a base to support the utensil. The lower face of the abutment flange (32) may include a plurality of shoulders (36) to provide stability when the utensil is used as a funnel. A flow barrier (14) includes a plug section (50) which may block the lower opening (22) to permit the utensil to be used as a measuring cup. The flow barrier (14) additionally includes a handle section (52) in the form of a fluted flange. This may be placed within the main body, with the indentations (64) of the fluted flange forming openings for straining material within the utensil. A cover (16) may be placed over the upper opening to seal the main body against contamination, permitting storage of the material. <IMAGE> |
