What is Cheesecloth?
Cheesecloth is a loosely woven, gauzy cloth that is made out of cotton, and it’s used for straining out liquid. Cheesecloth fabric comes in a variety of grades, ranging from loose to fine weaves. For example, grade 40 cheesecloth is a medium option with medium-sized holes to let air in and water out.
What is the Purpose of Cheesecloth?
The main purpose of cheesecloth is to make and strain cheese, hence the name. Because of the fineness of the cloth, cheesecloth can catch pieces of food that would have slipped through a standard strainer, such as coffee grounds or tea leaves. Additionally, cheesecloth is flexible, allowing you to close it and squeeze out any extra liquid, which is useful when making almond milk or fresh fruit juice.
How to Use a Cheesecloth?
To use a cheesecloth strainer, you want to first run it under cold water to remove any lint. Next, place the cheesecloth in a strainer, colander, or funnel with the sides hanging over the edge. Finally, pour your food or liquid into the cloth. You can also squeeze your food inside the cloth to ensure you get all of the liquid out.
Can You Reuse a Cheesecloth?
Yes, cheesecloth can be reused if it’s washed. High-quality cheesecloth can be machine washed, and other types can be washed by hand with soap and warm water. But, if you’re buying cheesecloth netting in bulk, it may be more convenient to dispose of it after use and just cut off a new piece.
How to Cut Cheesecloth?
Many establishments buy cheesecloth by the yard and then cut it down to a manageable size. You can use a pair of scissors to cut your bulk cheesecloth to the desired size.
