Butchers Twine, 328 Feet 2mm 16Ply Food Safe Cotton Kitchen Cooking String for Roasting, Tying Meat, Trussing Turkeys, Baking, Making Sausage and More

I wanted a strong 100% cotton twine for cooking and general use around the house but I didn't want the thick and barely twisted cotton twine I found locally so I took a chance and ordered this one. I am so glad I did!The twine is a natural cotton color with a tight twist. I could not break it when pulling it hard....it is strong enough to tie up plants, secure boxes, and hang decorations outside.I did the burn test to make sure it is cotton and not a synthetic fiber that would melt in the heat of the oven, and it passed that test perfectly. It will come in handy in the kitchen to tie up stuffed roasts or hold turkey legs together at Thanksgiving.This is a small cone of twine (it only measures about 3 3/4" tall and 1 7/8" across so it will fit into a kitchen drawer neatly) with 3 plies and measures 1 mm with 328 yards in the cone so it will last a reasonable amount of time.Would I order it again? Yes, definitely! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Well, I have to say, this was exactly what I was looking for and yes, I love this string. I needed a food-grade, cotton string that was on the thin side, tightly twisted and strong. Purpose was to tie up balls of dough in order to make "Pumpkin Dinner Rolls". The string needed to be thin and tightly twisted so it could be pulled out of the little rolls after baking (without leaving threads in the rolls or otherwise wrecking them). Had never made these dinner rolls before but I became obsessed once I ran across the recipe. Well, in any event, this string was perfect! (Yes, BTW, the stems are a bit too large...will have to perfect that next time I make these). Despite being thin, I believe it would be strong enough to be used for tying up stuffed chicken or pork chops, tying the legs of a turkey and even tying up a stuffed pork loin roast. That said, I have not personally used it for those purposes yet.

works great

The product appears to be fine. It is thin as others mentioned, but I want this only for use in cooking so the thickness is good. My problem is that the write-ups call this food grade and kitchen-grade and much is made about it's use in the kitchen. And it may well be made for this, but none of the packaging mentions that it is rated or made specifically to be used in cooking. I'm not sure if there is such a rating, but it seems odd that it is advertised as such and then the packaging just says" "A Good Helper In Life" and "Biodegradable - Soft - Multi-Purpose" and "Cotton Twine". For this reason, I will always feel the need to wash this twine well before I use it tie up meats or use it in other cooking projects.

I use this for all kinds of things. It's strong, durable, easy to use and it looks great. The price is also right. I'm very happy with my purchase. Highly recommended...

We purchased this for wrapping meat. We have used it on both the bbq and in the oven. It worked perfectly for stuffed flank steaks and stuffed pork chops!

Exactly what my griller needed.

I like to have a roll of twine in the kitchen.
