Danger of microwave bowls and baked potato bags
Many of the baked potato bags started fires in microwaves ------ because the fabric and/or batting and thread was not 100% cotton ------- that is what is needed to be safe. Batting is available specifically for microwave use ---- 100% cotton is a MUST!

Pellon Wrap-N-Zap Cotton Batting - available at Joann's
I was not aware that JoAnn's carries 100% cotton batting for using in microwaves. What is the brand name on that?
I already have warm n' natural that is 100% cotton for using in microwaves.
My understanding of these bowl potholders is for protecting our hands when 'heating' something up, not cooking. I have some bowls that I use for a minute in the micro and man, they are hot-hot when you go to grab the bowl.
BTW, great discussion on this topic. We always want to be safe with gifts of love we make for others.

DH and I microwave our bare potatoes for 8 minutes (turning over once after 4 minutes) and then let them set for a few minutes before cutting them open. My sweet potatoes come out perfect this way also. They come out perfect. I have heard of people wrapping them with a paper towel also.
Thanks cinjosie for the brand name, I will look for it.
