Small Kitchen? Use a Funnel For Storage Martha Stewart

Twine and funnels are an integral part of smooth kitchen operation. That said, you don't need them day in and day out, so this storage method is a great tip for a small space.

Martha Stewart's original idea used a funnel out in the garden shed (because we all have one of those, right?), but we think it works just as well in the kitchen.

The funnel works great on two levels: it not only offers protection for the twine from splatters, but it also keeps it tangle free and ready to use. It also doesn't taking up valuable cabinet or drawer space. Just hook it over a rack or add a nail under a shelf to give it something to hang from. Perfect!

Love it! I recently bought this magnetic spice board but I have been needing a few more ideas for getting the most out of my small space! Depending on the size of the funnels if may be a fun storage for fruit..and maybe some other miscellaneous trinkets. Thanks for the idea!

I had the HARDEST time finding a food-safe funnel that wasn't a canning funnel (i.e. wide mouthed). I finally had to settle for a collapsible plastic and silicone one. I had been hoping for metal, but it works I guess.

Cute idea, but you have to find the funnels first!

I use a jar for my twine. I've used the same one for years. I just whammed a hole in its lid with a nail. MUCH cleaner than having your string sitting out!
