Cooking device to cook with herbs that can be thrown away?
Is there a device that allows me to cook using whole spices such as bay leaves, cloves, cardomom, etc but once i have cooked, I can throw the spices away?
Something like a mesh or like a boquet garni bag - is there a special piece of equipment?
I spend ages picking this 'bits' out of my recipes and I just want to take the whole lot out in one go rather than using a fork to remove each bit.
Ashley be scared, they haven't caught me yet!
A few things...
Some chefs take a small pc. of cheesecloth and tie their herbs and spices in a bundle thus creating a bouquet garni. I have used a metal tea ball that worked well to hold herbs together in my simmering soups...and it was reuseable. If you really get in a pinch I suppose you could use an empty tea bag...just remove the staple empty out the tea and retie it closed with string. Or if you're out of luck you could just boil the soup with the herbs & spices in it...and then just pour everything through a strainer lined with a paper towel...I do that all the time.
