Can you fit a meatball thru this funnel? I want to put meatballs and spaghetti sauce in qt mason jar and funnel would be much easier.

Yes you can! The mouth of this funnel is wide enough for a standard size meat ball!

The meat balls will fit as long as they are less than two and a quarter inches in diameter, the diameter of the stem. I use it to put jambalaya, dirty rice, hamburger and pasta dinners in the wide mouth jars and it works great.

The diameter of the narrow part of my funnel is 2 inches, so I think it should work as long as meatball is smaller than that.

I have never tried this. In thinking, the vacuum would not be in the sauces jar, but around it. I really have doubts about this. I'd hate to see you lose all the sauces if it didn't work.

I have not tried either the medium nor large sizes for meatballs but looking at them, I feel they would both work. My preference would be to use the medium size for meatballs because they would be about the same size as those I make by hand. I would not need to adjust cooking temperature and time (I bake mine in the oven rather than browning them in a skillet.)

I purchased the 1 liter (not tall enough for your pasta)...I use mine for making homemade vanilla extract and pickling jalapenos, carrots and pearl onions...I measured my tagliatelle pasta for you, and I think your jar will need to be at least 12" high below the lid...Good luck...Hope I helped in your search...By the way, there are several decorative pasta tins for pasta....the Jar is so beautiful, I would recommend using it for something you can put in your frig to enjoy daily....maybe pickled eggs, pickled asparagus, etc. Cheyenne

I have no idea what a Hellkitten 6.5" funnel is nor have I ever heard of coconut gravy, so I am not qualified to answer the question.

Well... I put 3 jars of "Classico" spaghetti sauce on the shelves, one above the other, and they fit fine. The one on the bottom tier hangs over just a little but in a cupboard I think it would be fine. Keep in mind that Classico brand has very square jars, not the real plump ones I see in some brands. I think they would work fine for that. I use them (I have 6 now) for half pint jars filled with tubes of beads and they are perfect with those jars. Hope this helps!

You would need to custom build an adapter to fit you jars. This pump is for "tinkerers". Also, think about how much vacuum it will pull... Will it be enough for YOUR task? Food poisoning is no joke.

I don't have an answer for you, other than to defer your question directly to Instant Pot. They are very good about responding to questions. Quart/Capacity has never been an issue for me as it is adequate for my family of three's needs. Also for potluck(s), because I'm bringing a dish to share, not tasked with feeding the entire group. I'd love an 8qt just to be greedy, but the 6qt meets my needs. Good luck. In fact, I used it just now to brown ground beef for my slow cooker lasagne recipe, and now I'm preparing to use the second pot I've ordered to make a cheese/broccoli soup, using Bob Warden's book/recipe.

The scoop would absolutely work for meatballs. Just remember to squeeze the scoop before dipping into the meat and you'll be good to go. I use the scoop to make cookies and the density of ground meat is less than cookie dough. Enjoy!

It doesn't all fit in a large size mason jar or whatever it is that I use. But I don't think you'd want anything larger than a quart. What doesn't fit in the jar I use, I just put in its bag in a freezer bag and keep it in the freezer till there's room in the big jar and I haven't noticed any problem with that.

It was pretty simple to fill. I just poured the peppercorns in, didn't spill too many. I imagine a small funnel would work if the size was big enough to accommodate the peppercorns.

No. This is a centrifugal pump and must be primed with the liquid. Thicker liquids would only swirl around in the pump, if you could even get them to flow into it. Sauce and ketchup need something self priming and positive displacement.

I've made spaghetti sauce with it. When you stop looking at this machine as a "Jam & Jelly Maker", and realize it's a cooker with a built-in stirrer, things open up a little. But keep in mind, it comes to a boiling temp of its own setting, and the stirrer needs things to be mashed up pretty good. Perfect for things like spaghetti sauce, maybe homemade catsup, but I haven't come up with too many other things as yet...

The way it cooks together there ARE about 4 or so small gaps between the bacon strips of the bowl. They arent huge but any liquid sauce is probably going to spill out the bottom. I have not tried cooking with more then the recommended 2.5-3 strips HOWEVER, I imagine you could keep it in, if you filled the bottom with something else like a bit of crisp lettuce, or a thin strip of meat (in the way of luncheon or something similar). I know amazon doesnt like links but I'm gonna try to share these images on imgur (dot) com. They are at "imgur (dot) com / j5D1mcK" which shows my first two bowls in comparison to a ritz cracker. One of them cooked a bit too much on the bottom compared to the one on the top. The second image is at "imgur (dot) com / moeOyQV" which shows my filled bowls. They look fairly good, and tasted good too, as I said in my review filled with chicken alfredo, crushed red pepper, parsley.

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.

I am using glass mason jars - the funnel fits quite well no matter what the size.

Personally, I use it almost exclusively for large batches of spaghetti sauce and Italian sausage or meat sauce and I let it simmer for hours. I gently stir every half hour as usual, but no problems with anything I cook. This is my third Tramontina. Have an 18 qt., 20 qt, and now this 24 qt. This is my preferred brand for mass cooking soups, sauces, chili. I love it! I hope this helps. :-)
