    I use an old cotton pillowcase.  The pulp is put into one corner and then I tie it with string and hang it from a cupboard door handle above the worktop. I did have a nylon strainer which came with a L***l*and set but it didn't last too long and setting up the stand was a faff. The net bags from the supermarket veg sections should work for small amounts.

    Muslin cloth.  Its about 2 1/2 to 3 ft square.  I can scald it before the fruit goes in.

    I've used the kitchen stool upside down before now and tied a jelly bag to it in the past.  I used a very deep bowl (the Kenwood one, I think, from memory!) which wedged itself in between the legs, and sat the whole thing on the floor to drip through overnight.
