What is Kitchen Twine?
Kitchen twine, also known as butcher’s twine, is a thick cotton string often used for trussing or tying meat and other ingredients such as stuffing together. The meat may be wrapped with cheese to form a roll, for instance, or it may be sliced open and stuffed with a prepared filling. In order to keep the entire preparation together during the cooking process, a cook will often use lengths of kitchen twine to bind it. After the meat dish has finished roasting or broiling, the kitchen twine is usually cut off with a knife or kitchen shears before carving and serving.
