Detailed explanation-1: -A towel is not meant to remove items from a range or oven. It’s thinness allows heat to penetrate through. It’s loose ends can catch on fire.

Detailed explanation-2: -You should never use a kitchen towel when removing something from the oven or microwave. Why? Because the towel is too thin and will not prevent the heat from coming through-especially if part of the towel is wet. It’s important to use well-insulated oven mitts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Avoid burns Use dry towels when handling hot skillets, pots, or roasting pans as wet cloth conducts heat more readily than dry cloth. Avoid splashing grease on top of the range. Grease will ignite quickly, causing a fire.

Detailed explanation-4: -Only use completely dry items to handle things that are going in and out of your oven, including moving racks in and out, turning or shifting vessels or trays, or retrieving hot items. Any water in your towel or oven mitt will instantly turn to steam in the heat of the oven and can result in burns.
