Kökshanddukar

Grabbed a hot sheet pan with one of these last night and barely felt the heat through it. They're big enough that I can fold one over a mixing bowl mess instead of reaching for three smaller towels.

These actually soak up a whole spilled pot of coffee without just pushing it around, which my old towels never did. The extra-large size is the best part—one towel covers the whole counter mess.

I grabbed one of these to pull a screaming hot pan off the burner and it handled it without a flinch. The absorbency is no joke either, one pass wiped up a whole spilled coffee.
