How do you hold your dish towel when cooking?

[Timenspace]

The dish cloth is tucked into a cupboard handle, about 80cm heigth, and a paper towel roll is on the fridge...I swap the use...if its oily and or tomatoey ...or messy of any sort I will use the paper towel...the dish cloth is mainly for drying out hands washed in soap.

Touching hot pans/pan handles I like to do with a sillicon half-glove ( the shape of a raindeer head yep, was a Christmas collection), but it is not particularly good, i.e.gets hot too, very quickly...( too cute to throw out,I guess)... but more serious stuff or stuff needing longer handling time I approach with a proper insulated cloth/sillicon glove...

I used to have a thick quilt looking cloth-for the hot lids, but I discarded.

My Grandma used a towel to hold hot kitchen pots and all...

AProns, yes, love the extra protection, so that the stain removal liquid can be saved on( if I need a reason)... or just loving the styles ...don't know

My wife already did. So have I. Ditto.
So all the burnt ones, with holes in them, are squirreled away in my private hoard. I take them out when cooking and they are always close by. Never in one particular place; just close by.

I was trying to wrap my head around that, how do they get burnt? I only use designated pot holders for taking pans out of the oven...

Mine stay on the rack on the oven door. I only wear an apron when I remember, which is not frequently. During the pandemic lockdowns I was baking a lot of bread and constantly walking around the house with flour on my pants.

They get dropped on the rings on the cooker of course.

But why. They're towels. Not pot holders. Why!

They are multi-functional

I too have burnt ones. Usually theres one resting on the hob and I'm rushing n light the wrong ring

I don’t have any burnt ones, but most of mine are very stained. I think it’d be much easier to burn the corner of a towel on a gas cooktop than electric - you’d get a little time to react with the electric burner.

I don’t use pot holders at all. I don’t even have any. To fetch things from the oven, I use either an Ove-Glove or a dish towel.

But an ove glove is a pot holder! A dish towel isn't. I'm surprised at you tasty. Lol

Most of my dish towels are black...
