In the movie Mostly Martha, she had something in the middle of a long piece of (I assume) cheesecloth and was dipping it back and forth in a pot of boiling water. Does anyone know what she was cooking and what this method is called?

Many thanks!

Is this some Martha Stewart thing? I'm not familiar with the movie don't get out much.

Heaven forbid! NO! It is a 2002 German movie recommended on another forum as one of the best food movies ever. It is about a female chef who is obsessed with precision and excellence. It really makes experiences in a busy restaurant kitchen come to life and is a good story as well, having some funny moments also.

I highly recommend it for foodies (as well as Eat Drink Man Woman, a 1994 Ang Lee film). Both are available on Netflix to rent.

I am puzzled by this technique I have never seen before.
