Some implements that make things go a little more smoothly in the kitchen!
Mini-Funnel
Stainless steel funnel fits well into all the small (1 ounce, for instance) bottles we use for herb preparations. Opening is just a hair over 1/4" so that the liquid flows smoothly. Small ball chain to keep it handy.
Mini-Measuring Glass
Extremely handy little 4 ounce measuring cup that is marked in ounces, milliliters, teaspoons and tablespoons.
Shipping is high because this item is glass and requires protective packaging. Best to order with other things so that the max shipping kicks in ($7 as of 3/13).
