If a hot plate gets wet, hot water might splash back on you from the hot plate due to the Leidenfrost Effect, which prevents the water from turning into steam right away. It is safer to use a dry towel to avoid this possibility.

The water in the wet towel will conduct heat, maybe getting you burned on the dishes. A dry towel is a better insulator and will do a better job of protecting you from the heat.

What car is safer Honda or Toyota?

you cant really say that a brand is safer than another. You have to look at cars individually to find out which one is safer. But if you want to know what brand has been the best at getting those prestigious 5-star ratings then you would be looking at Ford. If you want my pick between those two then I'll have to go with honda.
