Pure Joy Planet Living Food Bag Nut Milk

I bought this bag as a replacement cheese cloth. The first thing I did with it was make paneer out of cottage cheese. Works perfectly. Then I started making hashbrowns with the bag. Grate a potato then strain it with the bag to remove excess water. I notice that once I did this, the holes became much bigger. Probably too big to strain nut-milk, but that was okay with me. After about four months of this, I ripped a small hole in the bag. It was still usable. Next, I started using it to brew loose leaf teas. Loose tea leaves are better quality and price then tea-bags, but they are a pain to brew. Either throw them into hot water and fish them out afterward or use a metal strainer, but the strainer doesn't let the tea leaves "breath". The nut-bag fixes both problems. Just put some loose tea leaves in the bag and brew normally. Then dump the leaves out later. It was at this point the bag started to discolor brown from the tea leaves (but only because I let the leaves dry in the bag), but was still usable. And because it is so easy to clean, I wasn't worry about it the brown color being bacteria or dirt. Just run the bag under some hot water while gently scrubbing with a soapy sponge. Then rinse clean.I started cooking dumplings. Traditionally, I would put cabbage between the dumplings and the metal steamer basket to keep the dumplings from sticking, but I found that the nut-bag works just as well. I wasn't sure if it could handle the high heat of a steamer, but I ended up cooking more then twenty batches of dumplings without a problem. I only threw it out because I melted part of the bag on a hot pan. I'm going to buy a new one or two.My conclusion: Cheap price, multiple uses (though it becomes useless for nut-milk making if used for anything else, but just buy two), easy to clean, and very durable.Every kitchen needs one of these bags. They are one of them most useful items I have ever bought.

Although this is referred to as a "Nut-Milk Bag," I have been using it solely for rice milk with great success. Before this product, I had never made my own nondairy milk, although I have drank store-bought almond & soy milk for years, because I thought the process would be intimidating and not worth the hassle. I was wrong! With this bag, I have made delicious, creamy brown rice milk. Best of all, I no longer have to worry about the negative health consequences of things like processed oils and carrageenan like you do with store-bought milk. I was afraid I'd make this bag rip by squeezing too hard, but it seems very durable. It really keeps the "pulp" out and is very easy to clean afterward. I also love that the "pulp" doesn't have to go to waste, like I imagine it does in the factories that produce nondairy milk. At least with brown rice milk, I am left over with basically a cream-of-wheat or oat bran-texture porridge that I love re-heating with a pinch of sea salt.I'm looking forward to trying more "exotic" milks than I can find in the store, like quinoa-rice milk, walnut milk, and red bean-rice milk. :) Thanks, Elaina Love!

So I bought this bag in May 2013. It's now Nov 2013 and the bag is now loosing integrity to the point that I need to buy another bag. This was my first nut bag after getting sick of cheesecloth, so I can't compare to other nut bags. I think overall this nut bag has worked very well for me. I make nut milk about every 2-3 days, so that is a LOT of straining in 6 months. The bag is easy to clean after each use, just rinse out all the pulp, squirt it with a little soap, rinse and hang to dry. The bag itself doesn't strain as well as cheesecloth, and so with my go to hemp milk, even with first use of this bag there is some "sediment" that gets through. This hasn't bothered me since the small amount of texture doesn't faze me. Now that I'm considering new bags however, I may try something new just to see if I can get a finer straining bag. Overall though, it is a good, easy to clean and convenient nut bag.Update 12/11/13: I have now purchased a second nut bag which has much finer straining capabilities though not the convenient shape of this bag. Since fine straining is more important than shape, I won't be purchasing this particular bag again. For those that are interested my new bag is "#1 Rated Nut Milk Bag" sold by Zimtal.

So I decided to make my own Oat Milk. I didn't want to go to the trouble of getting a nut bag, so I used cheese cloth. OMG what a mess, and more importantly, isn't sustainable bc it's one-use. This bag is awesome! Works great, cleans easily and dries quickly. Can't believe I didn't want to spend the few bucks earlier. Buy it. Buy the nut bag.

I purchased a nut milk bag locally at the suggestion of a clerk when I told them I was making my own yogurt. Using a strainer and coffee filters was taking forever to strain even a half gallon batch of yogurt. I was surprised at how well the nut milk bag worked. It is much faster with easier clean-up and the ability to strain a lot more at one time. When my kids told me that they all planned on eating yogurt with their school lunches, I had to up my batch to a full gallon of organic milk. Our local store was out of their nut milk bags, so I decided to order this bag from amazon. When I received it I was sure that I had made a mistake. It didn't seem as fine a strainer as my fabric bag. This morning I decided to give it a go, and wow, I was shocked that it worked just as well as my previous bag. I'm able to strain my gallon yogurt in record time (and as any mom knows, saving any time is well worth it!).

SIRVE SUPER

Right now I'm using this every morning & then some. I put my favorite combination of vegetables in my extra-powerful blender & then pour it through this bag; then I have beautiful juice which digests instantly & with ease. I make a lighter vegetable broth this way too which is fantastic & flavorful; this makes for a great base for hearty soups such as the French Squash Soup recipe that I invented (Rosemary is a wonderful flavor). It is beautiful for making juice which is it's strength. To wash, just soak it in salty, hot, dish water for a short time (say, while your drinking your juice) & then agitate it a little & then rinse it out & hang to dry from an S-hook in your kitchen. Don't wash it with dish soap; you don't want that flavor to contaminate your juice; yuck. I will likely order another one of these one day. It is sturdy too.

Sainsbury having stopped selling the muslin cloth I normally use to make my soy milk and tofu; I thought to try this as it was at a price where I could live with any possible let down. No let down just superb product and definitely superior to muslin when it comes to fine straining of soy pulp. My excellent Soybella milk maker kettle is now redundant as this with the superb Duronic blender Amazon sell (and boy is a good blender hard to find)now make 2 litres of milk in a mere 20 minutes and it tastes as good as my local Vietnamese restaurant's soy milk. Buy and be 'amazed' at this 'amazing' nut milk bag, I'm off to buy some Almonds.

Works great as a nut bag. Can also be used to put bananas (fruit) in to keep fruit flies off

me facilita la extracción de mis lechadas, es amplia y fácil de lavar.
