> wooden spoons
I suffer from a kind of tactile aversion where I can't stand the sensation of drying a wet wooden spoon (or any wet wooden object) with a towel. Curious if anyone else has this.

Wet wood is just SO viscerally unpleasant to me!
That's why I have a dish washer, so I don't need to do those things manually. And yes I throw all my wooden cooking utensils into the dish washer and let them dry in there with all the heat it uses for that. I also leave things in the dishwasher until the heat has dissipated from all objects, which gets rid of most of the leftover dampness except for a few things including wooden utensils. I then place wooden utensils on a drying rack. Next day they go back in the cupboard.
And yes I know. You're not supposed to put them in there. I've been doing that for 10 years with the same wooden utensils now and they're all fine. Some have slightly warped handles where I assume the wood is taking back it's natural shape. Most are completely fine.
