[Sca-cooks] hair cloth

[Susanne mayer]

have to use the few  minutes my hard drive works,...


I do own a hair sieve: wooden frame and a VERY fine mesh,  woven from horse 
hair, but as it is pretty old (about a 100 years) i use the more modern 
brass mesh one.

I do not know if the one refrd here to  is really a Cloth = Tuch? or a sieve 
/strainer?

can send you a picture  of the strainer I have

<<< I try to make minimal changes, but think "let them run through a hair
cloth" is clearer than "let them through a hair cloth run".  Or "and
let simmer until completely done" rather than "and let until
completely done simmer".  YMMV.

Ranvaig >>>

Yes, I agree.

As an aside, I understand what this "hair cloth" is from previous 
discussions here. Has anyone actually tried to make one of these?  Out of 
real hair? How coarse or fine were these? How coarse or fine was yours?

I would love to add the A&S docs, or better, an article about this and what 
the background on how these were used in the Florilegium. I have two metal 
mesh things similar to what these sound like here at home. One is for 
straining, the other I think is just to prevent grease splatters. I'm not 
sure how either of these compares to these hair clothes though.

Thanks,
  Stefan
