My wife used pieces of Natural Cheese Cloth to wrap chalk, placing the little bundles in drawers to prevent silverware from tarnishing. It has been working great and I can see how having a package of Norpro cheese cloth at one’s disposal can be handy for myriad little projects around the home. The Norpro cheese cloth’s wonderful simplicity is that it’s easy to cut and store. It’s the type of handy cloth that would be great for performing cleaning tasks for hard to reach nooks and crannies. I also like that it’s 100% cotton and not made with any synthetic blends. I hope to try using it wth herb bundles in soups soon, though I understand it is recommended to clean it beforehand. I also like the idea of using it as built-in seed strainer when squeezing my garden-grown limes during guacamole preparation.~ Kort

this is a nice thick cheese cloth and great for disposable uses. I literally Make cheese tho, and I attempted to use this to wrap my cheese. It served its purpose well the first time, but after washing, it began to ravel and fall apart and it was nearly impossible to get the smell of the aging cheese out. I soaked in vinegar as well as bleached and i ended up throwing it away. great product for a once time use, but dont expect to reuse it.

I use this cloth as a pre-filter to my Broan range hood filter for two reasons: Cost and effectiveness. I used to clean the metal filter by hand, but that took too much detergent and with questionable outcomes. Alternatively, paying $8 every time I wanted a clean filter was prohibitive. Since using this cloth as a pre-filter and changing that cloth on a regular basis, I now only replace/clean the filter, fan blades, and internal parts of the hood farther downstream once a year. My vent is ducted, but for those with ductless venting, that means less vaporized oil accumulating on your kitchen surfaces.So, here's what I do: I cut off a section that 1) allows for folding into three layers and 2) is slightly larger than the dimensions of the filter (so that I can tuck the edges in between the filter and the hood). Three layers provides good absorption without too much additional stress on the hood fan's motor and yields about five-seven applications per package.

I can't believe how much money I've wasted on the cheap (expensive!) crap at the grocery store. For making stock, those are way too "holey" and trying to wash them to reuse is ridiculously impossible. In any event, if you make stock and end up with that gritty brown stuff at the bottom of your pot, you'll know what I'm talking about. (even after you've strained two times with that cheap stuff at the grocery store and "specialty" kitchen stores!)I only cut one piece of this cloth so far (maybe 1/3 of original size) and have made gallons of stock and it's still strong as ever. My stock now comes out completely pure and clear, no grit at the bottom of the pot.I can't believe how well this thing works and to top it off, I think that one small piece I cut off the cloth is going to last forever. It's large enough to lay over my metal strainer and I cook 20 quarts of stock at a time. I now only have to strain once. Whoopee!!!To the person who says it shrinks. Well, that could be but you must have eagle eyes to figure out how much. No I do not put it in the dryer. why would you do that? I wash it out in the sink, soak it in a small bath with 1 tbs of bleach, rinse, then hang off my cabinet door knob to dry. I admit I skipped the bleach soak the last time and none of us got sick.I kept thinking there had to be something else better out there and I FINALLY found it.Buy it, you won't regret it.P.S. I still use the cheap expensive stuff from the grocery store but only for Bouquet garni. I don't mind throwing out a few inches of that stuff, but treat this purchase like gold.UPDATE: 1/18/13This is crazy! I've been using the exact same piece of cheese cloth all these years. At this rate, I'll never use the entire package. I guess I'll will it to my kids.

EDITORIAL:I seldom buy anything from amazon that isn't covered by the Amazon Prime shipping arrangement (which of course I've pre-paid for).To get around people like me amazon.com has developed the trick of offering certain products from their multitudinous sub-vendors under the Amazona Prime umbrella (after increasing the price to cover shipping; shipping which, theoretically, I've paid for through the Amazon Prime fee. So much for that.)ON TO THE PRODUCT REVIEW:I purchased this product. It is cotton cheesecloth. Quite strong in that I have washed it; wrung it out; stretched it; pulled on it and all in all treated it quite like one would expect of a nice sturdy cheese cloth.The only 'drawback' is that it shrinks which is not really a big surprise. Few manufacturers worry about pre-shrinking such products. It's a wonder Norpro didn't include instruction to wash the cheesecloth in cold water (I don't recommend that, by the way) as do manufacturers who sell 'large' dish towels.Certainly amazon.com's trick has worked as I am ordering this product again.______________ADDITIONAL COMMENT AFTER ORDER PLACED:The price for the product is '$3.71 + $3.99 shipping.' Even though combining two of these very light packets in a single box would never double the shipping cost the shipping charge is still $3.99 each. So I only purchased only one when I had planned to buy two.
