Microwave-Bowl-Potholders-Improved Technique
Today I ran across this website for producing multiple Microwave-Bowl-Potholders. I really like her idea of cutting out the dart to decrease bulk.

Warning - Warm and Natural Batting is NOT 100% Cotton

Beware when making microwave bowls or pot holders ---- there is cotton batting available at Joann Fabrics that is ALL cotton and intended for use in microwave projects. Warm and Natural has a scrim holding it together that is not cotton and could easily start on fire in a microwave.

Anything will catch fire it you heat it long enough.

Can be. They are made for warming up things, not for cooking. The problem seems to be when people put them into the microwave for 5 -10 minutes to cook, not 2 minutes to warm something up, like soup. I use them to make instant oatmeal and/or soup all the time at 2 minutes.

Good point...so using these for 2 minute increments or less would be advisable......then I'm not going to bother...just use the grabbers I have now...thanks.....
