Everyman Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I notice a lot of sausages are bound with red plastic twine at the ends that melts when grilled. Is this some kind of special twine that is designed for this and healthy? Or is it just leaving melted plastic behind? Some sausages appear to be bound with cotton string and that would seem to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Ingesting plastics of any kind is not a good idea, because of the additives in them. Some may even alter gender, have you gone from baritone to soprano recently? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen them make Thai sausages, the twine is just ordinary plastic string, farmers use it for tying up stooks of sesame seed for drying ,and other agriculture jobs, it is just split down into thin threads to tie the sausages up with. Just asked the wife she said the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
