What can you use as a substitute for cheesecloth?

Answer:
Possible cheesecloth substitutes include the following:

  • muslin
  • coffee filters (the paper kind)
  • white pillow cases or bed sheets
  • pantyhose
  • medical gauze (the holes/spaces are a little larger than in cheesecloth so you just have to double or triple it up. But it works perfectly).
