Couple of extra ones from me…

  1. Drying seeds to temove moisture (such as tomato or pawpaw).

  2. Germinating seeds.

  • Wiping hands after washing and before inserting and removing my ortho-k contact lenses (using hand towels carries the risk of tranporting previous user’s germs and/or fluff into the eye)

I also use paper towels for

  • a handkerchief - a decent size, strong and folds nicely inside the pocket
  • serviettes for young children
  • soaking up excess moisture from sliced tomatoes before putting them in a sandwich / hamburger – place the slices on half of a sheet or two, fold over the other half and dab

Yes, my cast iron and carbon steel frying pans and woks love paper towels. I use them in seasoning (being careful not to set them alight or burn the fingers on hot oil) and to wipe them clean of fats and oils after cooking - no detergent shall ever be applied to corrupt the seasoning.
