Various embodiments relate to a cooking grease receptacle. The receptacle is configurable for depositing, filtration, storage, and/or reuse of cooking oil and grease. An example embodiment is an assembly comprising a reservoir and at least one attachment. The reservoir has a flat bottom end and a flat top end. The top end of the reservoir comprises a reservoir inlet defined by a coupling ridge. The at least one attachment has a sidewall and comprises an outlet defined by at least a portion of the sidewall. The attachment is configured to be fluidly coupled to the reservoir, via the coupling ridge, at the outlet such that a seal is formed between the attachment and the coupling ridge. Various attachments may be interchangeable such that similar coupling mechanisms across attachments are used. In some embodiments, the reservoir and the at least one attachment comprise a heat resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures of up to and including 750 degrees Fahrenheit.

Systems, methods, and devices to improve pouring large or unwieldy containers are disclosed. A band couples about or proximal to a rim of a container. In some embodiments, bands are sized and dimensioned to rigidly fit containers with specific shapes and dimensions, though universal or nearly universal bands that flexibly conform to the shape of any container are further contemplated. The band secures a spout portion to a pouring edge of the container. The spout portion includes a shelf extending from the pouring edge and bounded by two side walls having splash guards. The side walls and splash guards serve to funnel food stuffs or liquids towards a receptacle when the container is tipped toward the pouring edge. The spout region further includes an overflow shelf to prevent food stuffs or liquids from spilling out of the container by accident or during rapid pouring. A handle can be further attached to the band to aid a user in lifting and pouring the container.

A surface cleaning apparatus has a fluid distribution system for storing and delivering fluid to a surface to be cleaned, and includes a steam nozzle in fluid communication with a steam generator. A pad mounting plate is adapted to mount a cleaning pad to the apparatus, and has a steam orifice in fluid communication with the steam nozzle. A flexible seal is provided between the steam nozzle and the pad mounting plate to seals a space between the steam nozzle and the steam orifice to prevent steam leaks.

A low-profile fluid transfer device has an annular base with a top and a bottom, and an annular peripheral wall defining an enclosed interior of the base. A plurality of spaced apart straight ridges are formed within the enclosed interior of the base and define respective flow channels. Each flow channel slopes downward from a first end proximate an inside of the annular peripheral wall towards an open second end away from the annular peripheral wall. A catchment area is located adjacent the open second end of each of the flow channels. A drain hole is formed within the catchment area and extends through the base from the top to the bottom.

A weighted funnel, the weight assisting to keep the funnel substantially upright, the weight comprising a periphery defining an internal void, the void receiving the neck of the funnel. The neck of the funnel is threaded externally while the weight is threaded internally (in the void) so that the threads engage each other, securing the weight in place. Other embodiments allow for alternate methods of securing the weight.
