Oven Mitts or Side Towels?

I hadn't heard that about microfiber. I've washed my microfiber cleaning cloths for glasses (i.e. spectacles) with no apparent ill effect. I make sure not to use fabric softener on them. Eventually they seem to lose their wonderful cleaning properties, but they do that even more quickly if I don't wash them periodically.

I too wash my oven mitts occasionally, usually in a vain attempt to revive their good looks. I should just buy new ones, but good ones are darned expensive.

The nastiness is what I hate about oven mitts...no mitts or potholders here...just bar mops...they're great...fold them over a couple times and they provide much more protection than mitts or potholders and they're easy to clean.

I just don't want to look back and think "I could have eaten that."

Unsupervised, rebellious, radical agrarian experimenter, minimalist penny-pincher, and adventurous cook. Crotchety, cantankerous, terse curmudgeon, non-conformist, and contrarian who questions everything!

I bought a pair of Calphalon pot holders several years ago. The long ones with the silicone stripes on the fabric. Love them!!! I got black so they'd stay looking cleaner a little longer. Best potholders I've ever had and I feel like I got my money's worth out of them. And, they're still going strong after all this time. Sometimes (often) you get what you pay for.
