This is a basic item with a basic function, keep the twine clean and in order. It does this well and looks great on the counter.

If you don't think you need kitchen twine, get this and be amazed at how much you use it. Beyond just tying meats, this is great for tying cheesecloth to make greek yogurt, tie the bread bag shut when the twist-tie breaks, tie the base cupbords shut when a child is in your house for a visit, hang mistletoe, tie together herb budles, etc. I never realized how handy it is to have bits of sturdy twine ready for use.

It has become a real household staple.

simple. works. and easy to store because it is not too tall to go in the drawer.

The twine holder is excellent--decent size for kitchen--don't worry about lack of cutter--you always have shears handy in the kitchen. DON'T buy the recommended second ball of twine the bozo's are trying to sell--it won't fit the holder!! :(

Nice keeper, but very dirty inside--be sure to clean before using! It's really a nice way to keep kitchen twine neat, and clean, and always handy. Item is made in China.

I was going to save money and purchase twine without a dispenser, thinking I wouldn't use it often, but I read Natasha Stryker's excellent review and realized there are so many uses for a basic cotton twine: Anchor tall perennials to bamboo stakes in my garden (instead of the non-biodegradable, plastic twist ties); hold in place the burlap I use to wrap my shrubs in late fall; thread some twine through a comb handle and my pumice foot buffer, which I can now hang off the hooks of my shower caddy; use twine as rustic "ribbon" to finish a gift wrapped in plain brown paper; tie tender branches together to prevent damage from heavy snowfall; make an impromptu clothesline in the bathroom ... the possibilities really are endless. Oh, yes, you can truss a chicken or stabilize a pot roast, too!

Loved the Stainless Steel Holder filled with Cotton cooking twine. Beautiful container. The service was great. Packed well, sent speedily. Bought through Amazon.

Sharp looking. Ease of use. Stainless Steel to match the kitchen and durable.

I was getting ready to truss a chicken and realized I had not butchers twine at home. Needing to go buy some, reminded me that I've seen holders for them to help protect the sting from just sitting out.

I purchased this one because it was stainless steel, and came with twine. There are a lot that don't sell the twine together and this seemed like it was the best price.

Yes it doesn't come with a cutter, but I'm actually glad it doesn't. The view different kinds I've seen have a very cheap cutting blade which would make it difficult to cut. Just use your scissors or even a knife and you'll be fine.

I've been so happy with this purchase

Sometimes little things mean a lot, and that is true in the case of this item. I had some kitchen twine that came in a cheap plastic wrapper and I tried to store the twine in it, it was supposed to snap closed but never did--it annoyed the heck out of me, constantly ending up falling out of its wrapper and into the black hole of the drawer somewhere. Now I have a home for the twine! The twine that comes with the dispenser is heavier and even better than the twine I previously had. Someone said it is smaller than expected. How big does something like this need to be? The dimensions are given, about 3 1/2" high. To me that seems adequate. The container is sturdy and easy to find. This has been a problem solver for me and a nice way to keep a little part of my world organized and clutter free.

This cooking string is great in the holder and looks smart too. No need to fuss with a ball of string getting dirty!
