The PurpleEssences Ultra-Dense Unbleached Cotton Nut Milk & Filter Bags are a versatile addition to any kitchen, especially if you're into making your own nut milk, straining soups, or brewing cold coffee. Crafted from 100% natural cotton, these bags provide a fine mesh that ensures smooth, pulp-free results every time. With a user-friendly design and eco-conscious benefits, they stand out as both practical and environmentally friendly.
I am very impressed with these all-natural nut milk bags. They are made from high-quality, unbleached cotton with a tight 66x70 weave that is much sturdier than standard cheesecloth. They work perfectly for making smooth, chunk-free oat and nut milks in just one pass. The drawstring top makes them easy to use, and they are fully washable and reusable for other kitchen tasks like straining cold brew or herbal teas. A great eco-friendly addition to any kitchen."
These cheesecloth nut milk bags are great to have in the kitchen and very useful for cooking and straining. The unbleached cotton feels sturdy and high quality, and the ultra dense weave works well for things like nut milk, cheese making, and general straining without letting too much through.They are larger than expected, which is a plus, but I do wish the set included more than just two bags. That said, for the price, they are a great value and have quickly become a reliable kitchen staple that I reach for often.
I bought these empty spice bags because I liked the idea of using them when cooking soup. I often throw herb cut offs, like parsley stalks, into soup and usually try to awkwardly tie them with their own stems. They almost always come loose, leaving big stalks of herbs floating around that I do not intend to eat. These bags seemed like a much better solution.I have not yet used them for their intended purpose in soup, but they have already proven to be a very useful, multi purpose kitchen tool. So far, I have used them for straining homemade nut milk and for squeezing excess water out of shredded potatoes when making latkes. They worked very well for both tasks. I have also used them to strain homemade feta cheese, which worked great.One thing I really like is the size. They are not too large, which I prefer. Nut milk bags are often much bigger than I need, and it is easier to handle and squeeze smaller portions rather than struggling with one large, heavy bag. Doing things in several smaller batches is simply more manageable.The bags are made of cotton muslin that appears unbleached, which makes me comfortable using them with food, especially compared to similar products made from polyester. They feel well made and good quality. They also have a drawstring at the top, which closes securely. I have not used it yet for soup, but it seems like it would seal well, and I do not imagine herbs escaping.Cleaning has been easy. Even after making feta cheese, which left some clumps stuck to the fabric, I just rinsed off the larger bits and threw the bag in the wash with my other whites. It came out clean. I think the price is fine - 100% cotton items are a lot more expensive these days than in the past
These are perfect for my needs! I love having a muslin or cheesecloth bag to strain with as you can easily wrap it around a cup or bowl and then pull tight. I did use one of these bags for my holiday cooking and it was easy to use, easier than a plain square of cheesecloth. I like the weft and thickness/closeness of the fabric as I don't need multiple layers like with cheesecloth. I also plan to use a bag when making my soup and I like to cook with the herbs in the soup, but then have them removed. It makes it easier instead of having to chop twigs of rosemary and thyme. I don't actually like those to hang around in the soup b/c they get bitter. Instead I'll use the bag, remove at the right time in the recipe, and then when serving sprinkle on fresh herbs.These are reusable so a good value for the money. They are a substantial fabric and they are really easy to clean. I used dishsoap and let it soak in a little vinegar. They dried well and I think they will be durable for a while.
I had a set of spice bags that I recently ran out of, and found these. Glad I did.I love the natural fibers; unbleached cotton is the way to go for these applications. They are definitely made durable enough to be reused, which is great. I've only used one of these bags so far and I've used it twice. It's holding its shape nicely and I assume I'll get a few more uses out of it before I need to toss it and move on to the next one.I see some other reviewers complained of a bad smell when getting these...I did not have this same experience, so ymmv.I got the 4x6 version, and they're the perfect size. I often make stews, sauces, soups, braises, etc. and I love to use woody herbs like thyme or rosemary, but don't like the texture of those when added whole or chopped in recipes. These bags are perfect for getting that flavor without having to worry about that.Easy to clean! I take it out of the pot, rinse it under cold water, remove the contents and then continue to rinse until clean. I haven't used it with a tomato-based recipe yet so I can't speak to it's resistance to staining.Very happy with these!
