When Food52 gave the basic kitchen towel a Five Two upgrade, we made it highly absorbent and lint-free with a thicker weave that that comes in two styles.
When we asked our community how to give the basic kitchen towel a Five Two upgrade, 36,000 votes said it all: Some of you asked for towels that were highly absorbent and lint-free. Others asked for a thicker weave that sops up liquids and handles hot pots easily. We came up with two complementary styles that conquer every task. Quick-drying flour-sack towel for glass drying and bowl covering. Ultra-absorbent utility towel for stopping spills and grabbing hot pans. Prewashed cotton. Hanging loop in the middle. Design inspired by classic French windowpane checks.
These kitchen towels from Food52 have a waffle weave that’s as absorbent as it gets. They’re 100% Turkish cotton, too, so you bet they’re machine
