Where Do You Buy Kitchen Twine -

: Many home cooks suggest simply asking your local butcher. Reviews of this "method" are overwhelmingly positive, as many butchers will give you a small amount for free or sell you professional-grade twine that they use themselves, which is guaranteed to be heat-resistant and durable. What to Look for in Reviews

: Look for "12-ply" or "16-ply" twine. Reviewers often complain that thinner 4-ply twine is too flimsy and can "cut" into the meat rather than holding it.

For kitchen twine, most home cooks and professionals recommend buying because it is food-safe, oven-safe, and provides the best grip for tying meats. Top Recommended Retailers
