I can see the TOWEL (drier) but can't work out how the R comes from directions

[Jackdaw33]

R for recipe, directions for cooking.

[fiction-factory]

Thanks- didn't know that R was anagram for recipe

[Jackdaw33]

Not an anagram but an abbreviation.

[Jackdaw33]

If it were direction then it could be R for right.
