A half-pound ball of #24 gauge cotton butcher twine, about 370 feet of it.

Tie a turkey's legs so it cooks evenly, truss a chicken, tie a pork loin or prime rib into an even roast, or bundle herbs. #24 is the everyday weight: strong enough to hold a roast together, thin enough to tie a clean knot.

It's the twine in all three of our turkey brine kits: Standard, Signature and Ultimate.

For the turkey: Traditional Turkey Brine or Maple Apple Turkey Brine.
