The present apparatus relates to a funnel which is used to transfer food or liquid into receptacles, such as reclosable freezer or storage bags. The funnel is comprised of an ovalized wide mouth opening and a long neck with a plurality of legs which are rounded at the end and extend downwardly from the bottom portion of the neck. Once placed inside the bag, the neck of the funnel serves as a supporting device for interior wall of the storage bag and prevents the bag from collapsing upon filling. The plurality of legs provides for slotted openings at the base of the funnel which allow for quick disbursement of the food or liquid and prevents clogging of the funnel or backflow of the funnel chamber during the transfer of foods or liquids. Although the funnel is designed to fit within a quart size storage bag, an adaptable base which can be screwed on and off the base if the funnel can be used to accommodate different size bags or receptacles. Additionally, the ovalized wide mouth opening of the funnel is also capable of receiving a strainer for the separation of liquids from solids.
