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.

Why Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel when water bath?

Lining a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel when using a water bath helps to create a more stable and gentle cooking environment for dishes like custards or cheesecakes. The towel prevents the cooking vessel from directly contacting the hot metal of the pan, reducing the risk of overheating and preventing the edges from cooking faster than the center. Additionally, the dampness of the towel helps to maintain moisture in the oven, contributing to a better texture in the final dish.

The sand feels hotter to touch than the towel because sand has a lower heat capacity than the towel, which means it heats up faster when exposed to the sun. This is why the sand can feel hotter even when they are both under the same sun.
