What is the meaning of "pat dry"? THX
Thx a lot!! Very useful! I have an other oneYou take a towel and gently touch it to the surface to remove water, instead of rubbing it vigorously.
Let's say you had a big scrape on your arm. When you get out of the shower, you use your towel more vigorously to dry your back, but to dry your arm, you gently pat it dry instead of rubbing.
You often see this in recipes - rinse the chicken breasts and pat dry, for example.
