Same here, I wipe my pouring pot, stirring spoon and measuring cup right after pouring with paper towels. I only use (Viva) paper towels although I noticed they are not the same as they were a couple years ago. Even with the change I have not been able to find one that works as good as the Viva brand. If anyone has a particular brand they like, or one that compares to Viva I would love to know.
