happydays Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Recipes like stuffed pork loin require tying up. What sort of string is needed & where can you buy it? Presumably standard string from Tescos is going to contain toxic elements unsuitable for cooking. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happydays Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Would toothpicks be an option or are they toxic as well? I know we put them in our mouths but would sticking them in an oven be dodgy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxx Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Toothpicks are fine. However, count them and make sure you retrieve them all after cooking. Dental floss (unwaxed) is a good substitute for string. However, any undyed, 100% cotton string is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I confronted this a few years back, never did find anything locally, ended up buying some on trips back to the US. I'm sure it must be available somewhere, but I gave up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
