How to pour grains and liquids easily

It happens all the time. You open your box of pasta or rice a little too roughly, and now you've got an irreparable rip or hole that will compromise its freshness. So you have to transfer the food to an airtight container. No worries! If you don't have a funnel but you want to make it a clean pour, just cut off the bottom of a plastic water bottle and use its neck as the filter. You can use your makeshift funnel for other practical purposes, such as pouring soups into Tupperware or glass containers or even for pouring your cereal with no risk of flying corn flakes.
