Using this KitchenAid set is a breeze. When cooking or baking, use the oven mitt and pot holder to grab hot pots, pans, and dishes. The slip-resistant silicone ensures a firm hold. The soft and absorbent kitchen towels are great for drying hands or wiping up spills. For maintenance, always wash the items in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use only non-chlorine bleach. The kitchen towels can be tumble dried on low heat and taken out right away. The oven mitt and pot holder should be laid flat to dry. And remember, don't iron any of the items. When not in use, hang the pot holder and oven mitt by their loops for easy storage or a nice decorative touch.
