Great product, Highly recommend!Do you need these, no not really. Are they fun to have, absolutely!
If you are a kitchen gadget person, like me, you will enjoy these. They are much easier to use than standard kitchen twine because you aren't trying to tie and cut, they can almost be fastened with one hand. They are extremely easy to open and close. Additionally, they do not stick to the food because they are silicone. Have you ever closed a stuffed pork chop with a toothpick and then couldn't find it to remove it? That doesn't happen with the foodloop. My set is a bright neon fuchsia; I could almost find them in the dark to remove them.
Surprisingly, they are easy to clean. They come in a little mesh bag that can be used to contain them in the dishwasher. Being silicone, nothing sticks to them so that they also hand wash with ease.
I have used them to make braciole (Italian stuffed roast). They are also great for whole fish (to keep the lemon and herbs inside when baking)...
They breakI have used these few times. They come undone and they break easily. I have 2 out of 6 left due to breakage. You can use them for rolled items like roasts, but not for birds; nothing that needs a tight tie can be trussed with these.
However, they withstand the heat and are easy to clean.
The jury is still out ...I tried this on my Thanksgiving turkey and they didn't work. The loop came undone during cooking. It was also a bit difficult to deal with using greasy hands. Maybe it will do better on stuff that roasts flat in a pan.
