The Workhorses Behind the Scenes

Cheesecloth for straining yogurt. Cooking twine for trussing a chicken or tying a roast. Soup socks for simmering aromatics in broth. Spice bags for mulling wine or making chai. Nut milk bags for homemade almond or oat milk. These aren't glamorous tools, but they're indispensable — the tools that hold the meal together, literally. At Tarzian West for Housewares, Brooklyn's neighborhood kitchen store for over 50 years, we keep the essentials in stock.

Cheesecloth — The Mrs. Anderson's Baking Unbleached Cheesecloth, 3-Square Yards for an all-purpose unbleached cheesecloth — used for straining stocks and yogurt, wrapping soft cheese, lining colanders, and more. The Extra Fine Cheese Cloth for a finer weave that catches smaller particles — ideal for making soft cheese, straining citrus pulp, or clarifying butter.

Nut Milk Bags — The Unbleached Nut Milk Bag for a reusable fine-mesh bag for pressing homemade almond milk, oat milk, or cold brew coffee. Washable and reusable, unlike cheesecloth for this purpose.

Cooking Twine — The Fox Run Red Cotton Twine, 65.6-Yards for a long roll of natural cotton kitchen twine — used for trussing poultry, tying rolled roasts, bundling herbs into a bouquet garni, and tying up pastry packages. The Natural Cooking Twine 25 Ft. for a shorter roll for everyday kitchen tasks.

Spice & Soup Bags — The Spice Drawstring Bags Set-4 for small reusable bags for simmering whole spices, herb bundles, and aromatics in broth, soup, or mulled wine — remove the bag cleanly without fishing out individual cloves or peppercorns. The Regency Soup Sock, Set-3 for a larger drawstring sock used to simmer a ham hock, sachet d'épices, or bones in stock.
