So, what is cotton flannel?
While commonly associated with clothing and bedding, cotton flannel has also found its way into the culinary world as an ingredient used for cooking and baking. Composed of tightly woven cotton fibers, this versatile fabric is often used as a straining or filtering medium in the kitchen. Its ability to retain moisture while allowing liquid to pass through makes it ideal for removing solids from liquids, such as separating curds from whey in cheese-making or clarifying stocks and broths. The soft texture of cotton flannel also makes it useful for wrapping foods like cheese, herbs, or meats during aging or smoking processes. With its natural, non-toxic composition, cotton flannel is a safe and sustainable choice for any kitchen.
