Muslins - sorry if Im Fick!

Hi

You know the muslin squares you use for babies - well are they the kind of muslin you can use for straining yoghurt etc? I want to do this and have some old muslin squares, so don't want to go out and buy muslin if this is the same stuff.

Many thanks.

    It's fine for this. Butter muslin is much thinner and you would probably want to double it up for straining. Alternatively use a clean J cloth. However ordinary butter muslin is better for soaking in butter and putting over the turkey at Christmas. If you need the thinner stuff and don't want to buy butter muslin try buying a packet of gauze from the chemist.
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!
