Norpro Stainless Steel Butcher's Twine Dispenser with 220 Feet of Cotton Twine

Butcher’s twine is the simplest way to truss a turkey, tie a rolled pork loin or hold a stuffed chicken breast together, and a dispenser keeps the roll clean and from unraveling across the counter. Norpro’s stainless steel holder comes loaded with 220 feet of unbleached, 18-ply cotton twine that is food safe.

Pull what you need through the opening in the lid and cut it with kitchen shears. The holder is a 3.25-inch cube that sits on the counter by the cutting board or in a drawer, and refilling it means only lifting the lid and dropping in a new roll. Cotton twine holds up in the oven and on a rotisserie, but Norpro advises keeping it away from open flame.

It also ties deboned meats and closes a stuffed whole fish. Beyond roasts, use it to tie herb bundles for stock or to wrap holiday parcels. Customers trussing a turkey pair it with the Norpro adjustable roast rack and the brining bag.
