keeping the exterior clean

[Ms Grumpy]

You can find cheesecloth almost anywhere. It is usually 100% cotton. Many people use it when cooking, that is how I use it. It is great for straining jams, extracting the liquid from mozzarella when making mozzarella balls, many use it when making a broth because (like with chicken) you have so many small bones and the tightly woven cloth catches almost everything. I have found cheesecloth at K-Mart, Walmart, grocery stores, cooking stores. If I do remember it can be kinda expensive, but maybe no more than microfiber towels.
