It is especially useful for tying up meat that has been [[butterflied]] and stuffed. It is often used to tie-up [[bouquet garni]].<br /> <br /> Cotton is an ideal material as it should be able to withstand roasting and frying where man-made materials are likely to melt. Ideally it should be marked &#039;&#039;food-grade&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> I use a reel of 50 year-old kite string as my kitchen string. Its not of food grade quality but it does an admirable job and I don&#039;t think it&#039;s likely to run-out in the near future!<br /> ====Where can I buy kitchen string?====<br /> There are plenty of on line suppliers for kitchen string.
