★★★★★ Happy to get rid of paper towels

I have been using these to drain bacon after cooking. They work well and barely leave any grease on the plate that it is set on. They are also useful for wiping out cast iron and carbon steel pans after cleaning with oil. They have been easy to clean up after use and wash up great in the laundry. Like the headline says I am happy to stop using paper towels for these types of oily/greasy jobs since they work so well.

★★★★★ Perfect!

Absolutely works as advertised. I’m so happy not to use a ton of paper towels to drain grease. I have rinsed them with Dawn before putting them in the washing machine but not sure it’s truly necessary. One more step away from single-use anything!
