BBQ cooking cloth and BBQ towel

Why use a good BBQ kitchen towel?

While barbecuing, you constantly use various accessories. You prepare ingredients, move dishes, work with sauces and marinades, and clean your hands in between. A sturdy BBQ cooking cloth ensures that you have a practical cloth within reach for all these tasks.

A regular kitchen towel can be used for this, but a specially developed cooking cloth often has a thicker texture and a more practical size. As a result, it is better suited for intensive use during cooking.

Especially when you regularly cook outdoors on a kamado, pellet grill, or plancha, you notice how handy a good kitchen towel is.

What is the difference between a BBQ towel and a regular tea towel?

A regular tea towel is primarily intended for drying dishes, cutlery, and kitchen utensils. A BBQ towel or cooking cloth is used for various tasks during the preparation of food.

The quality of a kitchen towel is determined by the material, thickness, weave, and absorbency, among other factors. A sturdy cotton kitchen towel can absorb moisture and feels more robust than a thin, standard tea towel.

Dirty Jack cooking towels, for example, are made of double-woven cotton with a fabric weight of approximately 330 grams per square meter. As a result, they combine a sturdy structure with good moisture absorption and extra heat resistance.

What should you look out for when buying a BBQ cooking cloth?

Material and thickness

Preferably choose a sturdy cotton cloth that feels comfortable in the hand. Cotton absorbs moisture and is suitable for daily use in the kitchen and at the barbecue. A thicker or double-woven version offers more material thickness than a thin tea towel.

Size of the kitchen towel

A good kitchen towel should be large enough to hold comfortably and fold in half, but not so large that it gets in the way while working. Standard Dirty Jack kitchen towels measure approximately 55 x 65 cm after washing.

Maintenance and washability

A BBQ towel regularly comes into contact with moisture, grease, and other residues during cooking. Therefore, it is important that it is easy to wash. Always check the washing label for the correct washing temperature and drying instructions.

A handy hanging option

You can easily hang a cooking cloth with a sturdy hanging loop or buttonhole on your outdoor kitchen or workstation. This way, the cloth remains within reach and you don't have to keep laying it down on your work surface.

Kitchen towel for a kamado

When barbecuing on a kamado, you regularly work with bowls, pans, cutting boards, and ingredients. A sturdy kitchen towel is handy for drying your hands in between, absorbing moisture, or keeping your workspace clean.

Always use suitable heat-resistant BBQ gloves when moving extremely hot accessories such as cast iron grates and hot plate setters.

A good cooking cloth also comes in handy with a pellet grill. Think of preparing meat, applying rubs, serving dishes, and keeping your workstation clean.

Kitchen cloth for an outdoor kitchen

In an outdoor kitchen, you want to keep everything organized and within easy reach. A dishcloth with a hanging loop is therefore particularly practical. Use it while preparing ingredients, drying your hands, and keeping your work surface clean.

Can a BBQ dishcloth withstand heat?

A thick cotton cooking cloth can offer extra heat protection compared to a thin tea towel. However, this does not mean that every cooking cloth is automatically heat-resistant or fireproof.

When using a cotton cooking towel over heat, use it dry only and for brief contact with hot pans or dishes. A damp cloth can conduct heat quickly and cause burns.

Special heat-resistant gloves are necessary for handling hot grill grates, glowing coals, or cast-iron accessories. A kitchen towel is not a substitute for this.
