Whether you consider yourself a great home cook or a beginner, there are a few kitchen tools that can make you look and feel like a total pro. A sharp knife and quality pans are on the list, of course. But when was the last time you upgraded your dish towels?

If your towels have seen better days, don’t sweat it. Amazon has a six-pack of Utopia Dish Towels on sale for just $10, and they’re a favorite of chef and social media personality Molly Baz. You may recognize Baz from her popular videos with Bon Appétit (where she worked as a food editor), from her recipe book or even her collaboration with Crate & Barrel. In other words, she’s the real deal, so we’ll consider buying anything she recommends.

Baz told Food & Wine, “Sturdy kitchen towels like the Utopia Kitchen towels can function threefold: as an oven mitt (for grabbing hot pots and pans from the oven), as a cleaning rag and as a dinner napkin. They’re cheap, so buy lots of them and use them as I do: with abandon.”

Why is this a good deal?

A six-pack of Utopia Dish Towels is just $10, down from $12, which means you’re paying less than $2 a piece. If you want to really stock up, you can opt for the 12-pack or 24-pack, which are on sale in blue for $19 and $20, respectively. If you use them in place of pot holders or dinner napkins like Baz suggests, you save even more.

Why do I need this?

As Baz says, these towels can be used for almost any kitchen task. They’re made from 100% ring-spun cotton, so they’re incredibly durable and absorbent, and they can handle whatever cooking or cleaning task you throw at them. But they’re also very soft, so they won’t scratch any of your cookware or dishes. To clean them after a particularly messy meal, simply toss them into the washing machine, then tumble dry on low.

The towels also have a classic look that echoes what you’d see in a restaurant kitchen. After all, how many times have you seen a professional chef on TV or in real life with a similar towel over their shoulders or tucked into their apron?

What reviewers say

Baz isn’t the only fan of Utopia Dish Towels — they’ve earned more than 14,000 five-star ratings.

“These towels actually dry things very well,” one pleased shopper said. “I became so sick and tired of the kitchen towels I was using because they just wouldn’t dry my dishes or countertops. These work really well and look great hanging in my kitchen.”

Another five-star reviewer (and chef) wrote: “I trained as a chef in the U.K. and was looking for professional grade tea towels (dishcloths) at a good price … I use my cloths all the time, to dry dishes but also as pot holders, to anchor my chopping boards, to tightly cover pots under lids … well, everything! These cloths/towels are perfect: And best of all … no lint residue on my nice, clean glasses that don’t go in the dishwasher.”

These towels are also a solid pick if you’re looking to be a bit more eco-friendly. “When you have this many towels ready at hand, you can complete any kitchen task without resorting to paper towels. A game changer,” declared a third fan.

“If I had to gripe about one thing, it’s that about 25% of the towels are not cut square, so it takes a little extra effort when folding to get them to look right,” a final reviewer said. “For a utilitarian kitchen towel I’m not worried about that. Very pleased and wish I had bought them a long time ago.”

Amazon

These towels measure 15 inches x 25 inches and are versatile enough to be used as dinner napkins.
