Butcher's Twine Alternative?!
Butcher's Twine Alternative?
I am making stuffed pork tenderloin for dinner and realized that I don't have any butcher's twine. Is there anything else that will suffice or another technique of keeping something like that together? Any and all advice will be gratefully appreciated.
Answers:
I have used polyester blend sewing thread when I had your predicament, had to quadruple it then double that but, hey it did the trick.
Common household string works great! It's in your junk drawer.
Unwaxed dental floss
I've used dental floss in a pinch and tooth picks.
Supposedly, regular string may contain chemicals that may leach into your food.
I have used a knitting thread (flax) that is braided far stronger than simple cotton string.
You can also use dental floss (plain).
unwaxed dental floss also large paper clips, no kidding.
