Pure Original Ingredients Methylcellulose (1 lb) Always Pure, Thickener & Emulsifier, Food Grade

This binder does wonders for vegan burgers, "not" dogs, vegan meatloaf etc. It is plant based and routinely used in food manufacturing. This is also the cheapest price I have been able to find. An essential ingredient in a vegetarian/vegan kitche.

Warm 4oz glass of water in microwave and add 1 tsp methylcellulose and stir in another 4oz water. It's essentially tasteless, without the lousy citrusy flavor of Cirucel, which I don't tolerate well. Half price.I combine this with one dose of Clearlax in the afternoon/evening. Moderation works.

Are you looking for a replacement for Elmers Art Paste?? This is your replacement!! I mixed it the same ratio in a gallon ice cream bucket. When mixed by hand it takes about 4-5 days to become completely homogeneous (stirring once a day) but if mixed with a blender it’s good after just a few hours of letting the bubbles settle. Doesn’t mold, I have some I mixed up two months ago and is still just the same as day 1.

I ordered this product when I was unable to get Citrucel, so used the Pure Methylcellulose (PM) Powder to "extend" my remaining Citrucel powder. I mixed the PM Powder and Citrucel 1:1 by volume, and did the math to determine the necessary volume to get the equivalent fiber given volume of pure Citrucel. I figured the Citrucel may help reduce the clumping while mixing, which it maybe helped slightly, but the effective solution was to first mix into a paste, and then gradually thin with cold water -- the result was actually a pretty smooth solution, and with a decent taste (since still contained some Citrucel). Availability of Citrucel is now back to normal, but I now prefer the PM Powder/Citrucel mix -- far less sugar. Update: Found that it dissolves easily in a small amount of warm water -- then can add cold water. No need to mix initially at paste consistency. Noticed another reviewer discovered the same method.

I build a tolerance to fiber, whether its in the food or psyllium supplements. So Im looking for a tendency breaker and figured let me do pure methylcellulose instead of Citrucel which seems weak. This does the job but spoon stir creates clumps. Blender and handmixer creates foam.BUT, 2 big tablespoons a quart of water and you have 32 oz of thick foam. Chug it and you're feeling full. I was already using psyllium husk for this, but the extra volume of foam is a bonus in feeling full. It keeps me from snacking too much at night, IM full, I can't fit anything else. I was using a lot, but I was eating way too much in the evenings after dinner watching TV on worknights. Or coming home late and doing the same thing.

I bought this for helping reduce the oil that is absorbed when frying foods in oil.The first time I used it for this purpose, I wasn’t sure it did the job. I was frying some coated mushrooms. But since then I have used it in coating batters and it works. I found its use when I was searching for ways to reduce oil absorbed by fried foods

It is useless. It doesn't dissolve, set up or perform in any form or manner methyl cellulose is supposed to work. It is white water with chunks

Love not having all the other ingredients like citric acid in the other orange flavored brand. I put 1/2" of water in a cup and microwave for 30 seconds. Add a spoon of the powder and mix it. It isn't really dissolved just suspended in the hot water. Then add the cool water to the cup or glass and drink. So easy to mix this way. And it seems to stay mixed a little longer than the well known orange brand. Very happy we have this instead. Try the 1/2" hot water method and you will be a lot happier than trying to get it mixed any other way. Save your teeth and skip the orange citric acid brand.
