I just came across this story entitled "Why American Cooks Can't Quit The Paper Towel."

 

https://www.tastecooking.com/leading-roll-why-american-cooks-cant-quit-the-paper-towel/

 

Try as I might, I can't give them up either.  To cut down, I buy the Bounty "Select-a-Size" version, in which you can pull off a half sheet instead of a whole.  That works great for me.

 

I also use microfiber cloths when possible.  

 

What do you think of the article?

I Use them for everything.  Use them in place of hand towels in the bathroom...and to dry my face off after washing it( less germs).

 

clean messes from pets....clean my spilled things....use as a place mat....I could go on for HOURS!  

 

Never going  to give them up. EVER!   I buy the big bundle at Costco.

Re: Paper towels - yes or no?

Just like cloth diapers before plastic ones, they washed and hung them up to dry.

 

How about paper plates?  We use too many of those!!

Re: Paper towels - yes or no?

I'm always at the sink - and realized that I was using too many paper towels. Several years ago, I bought a set of 2 metal gizmos - from the Q - that slide over the top of my wood cabinet under the sink and has a large metal ring - I put a hand towel thru the ring.

I put the 2nd hand towel holder upstairs in my dressing room in master bath - where I also keep a full-sized towel on the rack.

I keep a bunch of wash-cloth sized towels under my kitchen sink as well.
