Would this work as a reusable alternative to cheesecloth for straining homemade broth?

it's fairly fine-mesh -- we use it to strain broth. However, we're not too picky about having the broth turn out clear -- if you care about that, you'll probably need a second round with cheesecloth. Overall, a nice, strong strainer, though!

I used it for straining kefir grains but I'd want a large one to strain cooked quinoa because the mesh is so fine that of soft quinoa may plug the holes. A small one would take forever to drain.

This works just like a slow cooker except that it is clay lined. You could certainly make broth with it but you may have to restart it.

When I make stock, I use them to strain out the veggies and meat/bone/fat stuff. It's clear enough for me but if I want the stock clear, clear, I would use a cheese clothe. I rarely use the cheese clothe so... hopefully this helps you. I love my strainers

Not for cheesecloth, they are much better used as table napkins. I embroidered mine to make them look beautiful and for formal dining.

Maybe. If the strings were tucked inside and placed in a "delicates" bag. I have only used them for broths and stocks. You might could even take the string out and replace with velcro.

I have never tried to strain such items. I use this item for making so-called Greek yogurt. You could get Online and ask the company rep. If the item would work for your needs. Good luck. GINNY

I have only used it for straining fresh tomatoes for making sauce. Sorry I cannot give more information then this. Jay.

Yes. But you can lift out the strainer part and set a finer strainer within it. It would have to be a large one though but it would work in a pinch. Hope this helps you.

I don't see why you couldn't do that. It just means your bag gets smaller and smaller, since you have to cut off one of the sealed ends each time. I use it for cheese, make sure the bag is extra long, and then just keep resealing it each time I have to open it. I've never tried washing it and reusing it, since I use mine mostly for raw meats.

I have not used it as a yogurt strainer but the holes are small enough for me to strain lentils if that helps.

You would need to strain the yogurt with either cheesecloth or a Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker which I use.My review for this product has my recipe in it and you can strain that yogurt for fage or greek yogurt.

No, I have tried it for cheese. But if you line with a single layer of muslin, it will help keep the shape. Muslin is fine enough for straining just about anything. It is commonly used in the recyclable tea bags because of this.

It's pretty small and the mesh is tight but the largest strainer could work depending on how much spaghetti you are draining. I would not try to use it for anything more than a couple of cups of pasta. I use mine for straining kefir.

I agree with the other reviewer. Yes, it can be used as a soup pot without the strainer. I do it all the time. However, when browning beef in it, they stick horribly and the overall quality seems very flimsy. You definitely get what you pay for in this case.

I use mine for straining butter and oil from my magic butter machine. It worked great !! I didn't wash it first though.
