If you can't get to a big shop with a haberdashery department try gauze from the chemistIt doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!0

I've started making my own Chicken stock as we're using more and more of it these days, and I hate the idea of the salt in the stock cubes... Which are very expensive to boot. So I've been looking for some muslin as the last couple of batches have been strained through a seive and are very cloudy.
Are these baby muslin blankets suitable? £10 for 15 on eBay. Or do you need special culinary muslin?

Hi - well those blankets look quite large for straining stock - I would look for muslin squares rather than blankets. I strain my stock and I have been known to use my baby's muslins,. Muslin squares rather than blankets though.0

Try a J cloth lining your sieve, or even a handkerchief, to sieve the cloudy stock.
Muslin is a loose cotton weave fabric, that's all. A charity shop might even have an "Indian" muslin shirt. Indeed New Look and Tesco's have the thin "cover up" or sarongs which are made of muslin.
Try the J cloth or hankie first, more OS;)0 -
I've just got one little square left from using my son's old muslin squares (he trailled one around with him until he was about 3 1/2 ) (he's now 27) I use them for any straining jobs & then send them round in a white wash if I can. I agree, old hankies or well washed J cloths do the job just as well.
Ps great use for muslin is to drape it over your turkey whilst roasting & baste over that. It sucks up the juices in the pan & keeps breast moist. Take it off for the last bit of cooking & even I don't try washing that one!0 -
Many thanks.
I think we have some 'j cloth'. Think OH uses it for washing up and wiping the counter tops.SIMPLE SIMON - Met a pie man going to the fair. Said Simple Simon to the pie man, "What have you got there?" Said the pie man unto Simon, "Pies, you simpleton!"0 -

Good luck
