Do you have separate hand and tea towels in the kitchen, or do you use any type of towel to dry dishes?
Myself and my wife have differing opinions 😂

1x Tea towel made of thin "tea towel" material, probably with a picture on it (like a map of Wales, cheeses of Britain, The Life of Christ in Cats). For drying dishes and never to be used as an improvised oven glove or for drying hands whilst I'm in the kitchen.
1x a Hand towel made of fluffy "that's a towel, not a tea towel" material, for drying hands with. Can be used for drying something else if immediately put in washing machine after.
1x pair of padded, heat resistant oven gloves for use as oven gloves.
The scorch marks, food stains and dirty hand prints on all three objects suggest someone might have different ideas whilst I'm not in the room.

One of each here.
Can't dry your hands on a tea towel, like some uncivilised caveman!

Exactly! It seems to make them way more wet than the dishes do.

Tea towels for everything (drying dishes, drying hands, moving hot things), washed frequently.

Same here, except the dishwasher does most of the drying.

It depends? If I was my hands in the kitchen, tea towel. In the bathroom, hand towel

I'll guess she is a fan of a hand towel.
I only have tea towels in the kitchen.

It's actually me that's a fan of the hand towel! Although I think the mild frustration is when she uses the hand towel to dry the dishes but it doesn't dry them as effectively as the tea towels.

Therein lies the danger of separate towels in the kitchen.
If it helps, I tend to have four tea towels in the go at any one time - the main one of used for dishes, if that's too wet then I will dry my hands on the second one and then they get cycled out to the washing and the other two moved up for active use.

We just hang ours off the handles of the dishwasher and oven!
