Do you know what cheesecloth is?

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion Archive: Archive July 2005: Do you know what cheesecloth is?

I asked 4 different employees at a WalMart and only one had a vague idea what I was talking about, but had no idea where I could find it! LOL Does WalMart sell it? I looked for awhile, but didn't find it. :)

It's a think gauze type cloth used lots of time in pastry making.

You can get it at the grocery store. It's used for straining liquid from things like yogurt, cheese, etc.

LOL! I probably should have worded my post differently! I already know what it is and took for granted that others would too. I thought at least the employees in kitchenware would have known. :)
I was just surprised that no one could help me find it because they didn't know what I was talking about - even after I explained it to them.

I know what it is but I can imagine there are alot of people that don't. I would think Walmart would have it.

I would look maybe near the canning supplies.

I have seen it in Home Depot in the paint department. It can be used for a variety of faux finishes.

I have also found it in Automotive! LOL! My grocery store has it, but I can't remember where exactly, now.

I use it to strain soup and it's something I can't live without!

Talking about employees. Once I was looking for wedges of Parmesan cheese at the grocery store. I much prefer to grate my own cheese, for spaghetti, to buying the already grated stuff. The kid, wondered if I could just buy the stuff that was already processed! Uhhh, no. I did finally find it, but he was sure no help! I think they were out of the stuff I usually bought, but I did find it somewhere else.

I worked in the fabric dept. at Wal-mart for a while and we stocked cheesecloth back in the fabric department. You could buy it by the yard or in a 3 yard pack. I bet at my store no one else other than fabric associates could tell you where/what it was! We had a guy in charge of our household dept. who didn't know much about cooking!
