Diapers that resemble cheesecloth would be singularly useless as diapers, and cheesecloth that resembles a diaper would also be quite useless as a filtering mechanism. I mean, you can't get more diametrically opposed as far as intended purpose than a diaper and a cheesecloth. — Marti 16 hours ago

A: Fabric to be used for cheesecloth

use a handkerchief! :) this works well!

Bart

How about ... cheesecloth?

Infinite Happiness

9:58 AM

You grabbed the wrong container. That is dish detergent. Make sure that the label says "Peanut Butter" on the side and not "Dawn Dish Detergent". Problem solved ;) — seasonedaddict Oct 2 at 23:28

Sam

@Pham why

Jan Dvorak

@Sam that was not a TPA?

The bot should distinguish autoreports from announcements

Sam

No it was. I'm just checking something.

Jan Dvorak

my suggestion still stands

Infinite Happiness

...because they are looking for a substitute. One person said to use a diaper as cheesecloth @Bart, they are having a funny discussion now :D

@Marti I'm not sure that the purpose is so diametrically opposed. What you want in cheesemaking is something which will a) apply even pressure on the cheese from all sides, and b) allow whey to go away from the cheese. Now, the diaper may absorb more of the extra whey, while the cheesecloth will allow more to flow out, but the whole point is that the cheese isn't kept sloshing in whey, just like the baby bottom isn't kept sloshing in urine. — rumtscho ♦ 21 mins ago

sure it could, but that's about the only reason to not instant-nuke it ;)

the looks ok and the unsalvageable could use different labels

Unihedron

Looks OK for questions that can be found, understood and answered as-is
Should Be Improved for questions that would benefit from further revision by the author or others
Unsalvageable for questions that are unsalvageable and should be removed from the site
Skip if you are not sure and want to go to the next question

Vogel612's Shadow

looks ok is all good an such, but it could use a better caption.

What's missing is the part between should be improved and unsalvageable...
