I couldn't find cheesecloth at the market for a bouquet garni so I wonder
about using a coffee filter instead, and folded up and tied or stapled.

Your thoughts?

Sure, try it, but please don't staple it- that would not be a nice
thing to find going down your throat!

PeterL,

Explain Clean Chux.

Sometimes your Aussie slang DOES get lost in the translation. No offense!

Use a very big tea egg, if you have one. Or use nothing at all, if it comes
down to that.

Sometimes they are in the supermarket section near the
dustclothes....Don't ask me why. Also I have found cheesecloth at
WalMart.

I have been known to use J clothes when I found myself without cheese
cloth.

Find a piece of gauze in the first aid kit and rinse it out, then use it just
the same as you would the piece of cheese cloth.

Shadowdog,

I'll give the Walmart a call for another time, but tomorrow is the "Gumbo
Cook-Along With Christine."

No more time to shop.

Thanks,

Go to your nearest hospital supply house and ask for a package of 200
kendall curity non sterile, 8 ply, 4" x 4", gauze sponges. A package should
cost less than $10. You take the sponge apart, so it's an 8" square, load it
with spices, tie it up with string, and toss it in the stock pot. It's less
bulky than cheese cloth. It sucks up less of your stock. It's right there
when you want it. If you do a search on google with the above product line
you will find lots of suppliers. They rip you off with shipping charges.
Try to buy a package of 200 locally if you can.

Pop into a fabric store, buy a yard of it for under a dollar, and you'll
always have it when you need it. You can also use a largish tea infuser
which is what I do quite often. The oblong one is my favorite for
herbs.

I think a coffee filter would work. I didn't do the bouquet garni packet, I
just put the herbs straight in the stock and used cheesecloth in a strainer
afterwards. It just seemed easier somehow.

Oooh, that's a good idea, Dimitri!

Why use all that syntheic rubbish suggested when you can use something quite
natural....
At catering college we were taught to make our own bouquet garni using
leeks....take a nice "leaf" or layer of leek, put your aromats inside, fold
it up like a parcel, tie off with string...simple and natural!

Why bother... when your panty hose gets all full of runs you can still
use the cotton crotch.

I use coffee filters all the time for stuff like that. Tie it up with
a piece of string instead of stapling it.

Yeah, staples are a really good idea.

order on line or buy from a shop a tea ball. Get the larger version, works
a treat.
