Cooking For Engineers

[Dilbert]

during the shortage of 'everything paper' we shifted to the commercial style "C-fold towels" - like those you see in restrooms.
they are . . . like 10 times less expensive that brand name paper towels on a roll.

as life progressed, I prefer them over roll paper towels - because when I 'rip one off the top' the rest of the roll does not come with it....

being a wood working hobby type with a basement full of rough sawn lumber... made a counter top holder. it's rock maple, heavy, stays where it is put.

if you have the wall space, a commercial dispenser is an option.
