Review on 🧽 Toockies 6-Pack of Vintage Dish Cloth Pattern Hand-Knit Organic Cotton Scrub Cloths by Ryan Hawkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

LOVE the story behind them, they come in handy as potholders and trivets!

The story behind it is reason enough (in my humble opinion) to buy it. Tuks are made in Calcutta by very poor women. Your purchase supports a good cause by creating jobs for women in need. I have no regrets at all that I bought them for this reason. I didn't find them useful for cleaning clothes so I use them as potholders. And I love them for this use! However, you can't use them for very high temperatures - you'll need a thicker oven mitt. I use them to spin/spin a pot in the oven, or to remove a hot lid from a pot on the stove, or to hold the sides of a pot while cooking, or to hold the sides of a pot while I strain water. . For that it works great. I really like having a smaller toockie for potholders. I find that most oven mitts are too big for something like this (and I have a gas range and the oven mitt can burn/catch fire very easily). The small size of the Toockie is a big advantage for me in these cases. I also use them as coasters for hot drinks. They work very well for this, although technically they are not designed for it. I love supporting the use of organic cotton and supporting poor women's causes. This is a win-win situation.
