Where is the best place to buy cheesecloth?

Kroger? Walmart?...do you get it at the auto parts store?

I've never bought any.....thanks.

You should be able to find it in the supermarket, maybe
by the baking pans? or where they have cooking tools like
spoons and whatnot? You'll also find it at a fabric store,
but that I would wash before using it with food.

A fabric store, by the yard.

You'll save something like 2/3 off what you pay in the
grocery stores. Just one more area where grocery stores
are a rip off.

Blessed are the cheesemakers.

Can it be used more than once?

I wanted to use some to make some Paneer (curdled milk) .....can you rinse
it well and use it again?

Give them a quick hand wash, put them all in a pillowcase,
and run it through the washing machine. The pillowcase prevents
them from getting torn apart.

They don't last forever, but you will get extra uses
out of them this way.

You puzzled me with the auto parts question, I don't know
of auto uses for cheesecloth, off the bat. It's occurred to
me, are you confusing it with chamois cloth?

Any of the big box hardware store, Lowes, Home Despot, etc.

That's twice what I pay per square yard at the fabric store. You
might as well get it at the stupidmarket.

Cheese cloth is used for final buffing out wax jobs.

Wood finishers use cheese cloth for removing sanding dust from wood...
hardware stores will typically sell a big bagful for like $5... look in
the paint department.

These days culinary tasks is the least popular use for cheese cloth..
really has no use in the kitchen anymore, not with all the modern
filter papers and fine mesh sieve devices.

As if you'd actually know anything about this stuff. Try using
filter paper or sieves for hanging cheese, or smoking and drying
meats.

Idiot.

Mine is lasting forever........I bought some a few months ago because
several of the cooking shows used them to wrap spices .... haven't used it
yet!

And make sure you get cotton, not polyester.

I saw some at a 99 Cents store the other day. Didn't notice how many
square feet the package held. -aem

I use a thin dish towel -- I save them until they get thread-bare.
You can also use them to lightly cover 'rising' dough.

Stainless steel mesh/perforated tea infusers are much better...
available in many sizes... some infusers are quite large, made
explicitly for bouquet garni. Wrapping spices/herbs in cheesecloth
pretty much makes cheesecloth a soggy, greasy mess, hardly worth
reusing (may as well reuse condoms)... stainless steel infusers can go
in the dishwasher and with a minimum of care will last forever. I have
more than a dozen of various types/sizes.

I just got the cheesemaking book from here
http://www.cheesemaking.org/
and they're pretty adamant that you don't use regular cheesecloth, the kind
you get in a grocery store, because the weave is too loose. Be sure that you
get cheesecloth from a cheesemaking supply store or better yet, get butter
muslin.

Idiot.

You're the idiot, professional cheese makers no longer use cheesecloth
to drain cheese, they use filter paper exclusively, of which there are
many types, they don't use teensy coffee filters you nincompoop.... and
meat smokers never used cheesecloth, it's too weak and ugly... they use
specially made netting, each with a specific configuratioin for each
kind of product. Dry up, Reg, you kitchen moron... you're a bag... a
dumb douchebag!

You're so full of [censored]... you really expect normal brained folks to
believe your just made up fercocktah fabrication... we all know if
anything you use your old panty hose, the cotton crotch! That's far
more believeable.

Really?

Would you use them the same way as cheescloth? Put the wholestainless steel
thing in the soup; casserole - or whatever..........

I totally like having something new to buy (which might actually be useful).
