Is the spout large enough for minced garlic and other small bits to pass through? I want to use this for homemade salad dressing in a mason jar.

The spout has about a 3/8" opening upon entry and about 1/4" on exit. If the product going through it is liquefied enough it may. I think it is meant more for liquid. Just my opinion. I hope this helps.

Quite possible, but not really designed for that. Any residue left in spout after use would probably harden &. Be difficult to clean

I wouldn't recommend it. Any liquid that's thicker than syrup, for example, would probably pour very slowly or not at all, especially with small bits of garlic.

Probably good for that small amount. I use this one only when I'm making Caesar Salad dressing. I grind minced garlic, anchovies, capers and then grainy mustard wit the seeds in this set. I only do about 1 tsp. of each at a time so I don't have to grind so hard. My H has larger hands and he finds it easier to grab the smaller end of the pestle and grind with the fat, round end. However, my hands have some stiffness from old gymnastic routines so I find it easier to grab the fatter, rounder end of the pestle and only use the smaller end to grind.

I haven't used it for that purpose, I use mine for salad dressing, but the opening is fairly wide, has a nice rubber gasket at the opening, the handle at the opening is easy to use - I think it would dispense most liquids very well :) The only thing I can think that would be a problem is if the the maple syrup is REALLY thick (more like honey)- this isn't a squeeze bottle so if it doesn't flow out on its own it would be more challenging to remove.

Absolutely, Kathy! Further, it does a better job as a fine mesh colander, since no small particles get thru. I have a number of I DO utensils, and am very happy with all of them. Definitely quality products! And, Amazon is the very best firm on the internet to do business with!!! Sincerely, Phyllis (Bethalto, Il)

Will depend on the size of the bottles, cans, etc. of your spices. Suggest that you draw a nine inch circle on paper and test it out, Leave space along the edge for the rim. Good luck.

Not sure, I have only used it for olive oil. I would think french, ranch, etc would be too dense to go through nozzle, just based on my use.

Yes, but only if you squeeze 1 cove, or smaller pieces at a time. When you load it with a lot of garlic, you lose some leverage. I have no problem, but if you hands are smaller you might.

Yes. I would recommend rinsing it between cloves/loads though because if you don't, some of the skin from the previous load can get in there. I agree that there is a small amount of garlic waste; about 10-15%

no, it is big enough to do pint jars. It works fabulous for the pints. I think I get about 5 in at a time. Due to the space needed between the jars for proper circulation of the water. good luck.

It can't be pushed inside out because there is an additional piece inside that prevents that from happening. The spout is made out of silicone.

It will pass through the spout but the cup comes with a removeable valve that may not let the thicker mixture through. Like I said it can be removed so if you are not concerned about spills from the cup being turned up side down you should be fine using it without the valve.

Yes, but since you are only filling in small holes and this is a fairly large container which is more appropriate for spreading over larger holes, you might be better off to purchase a smaller squeeze tube.

Yes, definitely. I use it all the time for the 16 oz Lipton Green Tea bottles. When using the holes at the 'small end' though, you must hold it at that end rather than at the closed end as you normally would.

I haven't tried it, but it's made for the meta bowl that has no pouring spout. I would contact the manufacturer.

It has a nice large opening on top, I use a large slotted spoon to fish out my tea bags. The spout seals well without dripping. It should work fine. My only advice is to be careful not to smack it with anything as I have cracked two of these when I hit the corners while moving them.

Yes.I have put pesto,minced garlic, Spagetti sauce etc.Be sure and watch fullness of drip tray.

As you can see by the picture of this item, the funnell flairs out and would fit into the jar. The small end of the funnel is about one inch in diameter and the strainer can be removed and put in place to strain larger items from your liquid. I use it to strain cooking oil after I use it for french frying when particles are left behind from the flour coating.
