Oftentimes I try to write very detailed posts with a lot of well eresearched nfirmation. I think this is holding me back from passing along a lot of basic, yet important kitchen tips. That said, here’s a nice brief one:
When you’re wiping down your station, sacrifice one of your precious dry towels to some liquid, be it sanitizer or soapy water, wring it out, then wipe down. A wet towel is much more absorbent than a try towel. Don’t believe me? Just try wiping up a puddle of water with a bone dry towel. Then try it with a moist one. Water is a polar molecule, and it has a strong attraction to other water molecules, so it’s the water itself that is pulling it into the fibers of the towel.
