I am making stuffed pork tenderloin for dinner and realized that I don't have any butcher's twine. Is there anything else that will suffice or another technique of keeping something like that together? Any and all advice will be gratefully appreciated.

I have used polyester blend sewing thread when I had your predicament, had to quadruple it then double that but, hey it did the trick.

You can wrap in plastic wrap then foil and bake until the meat has set and will not unroll. Then you can move it to a grill or saute pan to finish. Lol I find it funny that people would be so strong headed this technique has been used in restaurants for a very long time. The plastic is removed after cooking it then you can do as you wish.

Unwaxed dental floss

I've used dental floss in a pinch and tooth picks.
Supposedly, regular string may contain chemicals that may leach into your food.

I have used a knitting thread (flax) that is braided far stronger than simple cotton string.
You can also use dental floss (plain).

Common household string works great! It's in your junk drawer.
