NO, don't use nylon!!
Most good Hardware stores carry butchers twine, if not, ask your local butcher, he'll gladly sell you a small amount.

Nylon Twine

I wouldn't use nylon twine to truss a chicken but it won't melt. The melting point of nylon is about 450 degrees F ... hot air balloons are made from nylon.
I use Saran Wrap all the time in coating. I use it to line the bottom of lasagna pans. Spray the pan with PAM and line with Saran wrap. I turn the lasagna out on a board in one piece and cut into portions. I also saves a lot on cleanup.

I don't know as I'd trust anything that isn't specifically for cooking (dyes and other nasty things could get into your food as it cooks). As for buying the cooking twine, if your local grocer doesn't have it, try any of the big "home" stores like Bed Bath and Beyond or Linens and Things. You might even be able to get it at your local department store if they have a kitchen section.

You can usually find butchers twine at the supermarket, if they have the little aisle where they sell cooking utensils and such. Otherwise - a little trick I learned from watching Julia Child - you can use UNWAXED dental floss - and it totally works!
Happy Holidays!

No. Nylon will melt
I've seen cotton twine at upscale places like Williams-Sonoma, but also in the gadget aisle of nicer grocery stores.

My cat did that a year ago. I did the same thing, just snipped it. I kept an eye out, and by the next morning, it was all passed. I know you shouldn't pull it. I know it could be worse than it seems, especially if he ate a whole bunch of string.

no. it'll melt/release chemicals.
You can use any cotton string/twine.
I got mine in the hardware section of the grocery store. I use the same string in my garden and arround my house.
