A combined measuring cup, funnel and strainer utensil. The utensil includes a main body having a sidewall defining an upper opening and a lower opening. Material may flow through the upper and lower openings to funnel the material. An abutment flange extends outward from the sidewall, and may act as a base to support the utensil. The lower face of the abutment flange may include a plurality of shoulders to provide stability when the utensil is used as a funnel. A flow barrier includes a plug section which may block the lower opening to permit the utensil to be used as a measuring cup. The flow barrier additionally includes a handle section in the form of a fluted flange. This may be placed within the main body, with the indentations of the fluted flange forming openings for straining material within the utensil. A cover may be placed over the upper opening to seal the main body against contamination, permitting storage of the material.
