Where can I buy cheese cloth?

Question

I am making soup stock using pork bones for the first time. Someone suggested that I wrap the bones in cheese cloth and then, boil it for several hours. The cheese cloth would prevent any bone from getting into the stock. Is this the correct method on making soup stock? Also, where can I buy cheese cloth? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Answer 1

Cheese cloths aren't hard to find. Any place that sells cooking materials will have cheese cloth. I've heard of people using cheese cloths to keep their bones out of the stock they're making.

I boil my bones with the water and spices, drain the broth from the bones using a colander, and then chill the broth. Once the broth is chilled the fat in the broth will solidify at the top and can easily be scraped off.

I have friends that use loose leaf tea balls to hold their loose leaf spices so there is no sifting them out of the water.

Answer 2

No this is not the correct meathod, sorry. You boil the bones freely in the water for a couple of hours with roughly chopped, celery, carrots and onions. Skimm the foam off the topp whenever it arises, then when ready pour through a strainer lined with cheese cloth into a container. This will lead to a clear stock that tastes delicious.Oh and you can find cheese cloth at your grocery store, just ask the clerk.

Answer 3

Thats is a good idea for making stock. Any bones make good stock. You can buy cheese cloth in almost any grocery store or cooking store.

Answer 4

The bone will not come apart in your broth. You can use cheesecloth for your herbs tho. Cut out a square of cheesecloth, put your fresh herbs on it, gather it up and tie it with some cotton string. Toss that into your pot and it'll add that missing "thing" in your stock. I usually use thyme and/or oregano. You can get cheesecloth at your local grocery store. Look on the isle that has kitchen utensils like spatulas and stuff. It'll probably be in a clear or blue bag hanging on the wall display.

Answer 6

They usually have it in the aisle in the grocery store where all the cooking utensils/tupperware, that kind of stuff are. If you can't find it, you can just dump the whole thing through a sieve...that's what I usually end up doing.

Answer 7

You can buy cheese cloth at any cooking store.
