Thanks for the verification and warning. I was thinking of making some for my family.

I made a bunch of them for Christmas gifts last year & Nobody has had any problems but I will tell everyone on Christmas not to put them in the Microwave. Just because there has been no problems yet doesn't mean that there won't be problems with them in the future. Thank you for the warning.

Believe me, if you talk to a fireman, he will tell you putting ANY kind of fabric in a M/W, you are a mere step away from burning down your home or someone else's if you tell them to put fabric in the M/W. They are still all aghast that people still use those potato bags. A friend of our's husband was a fireman and she told me he said, some people just plain have no common sense. Potatoes cook fine without them, and all taste the same.

Unless cotton thread is used for sewing, people are using polyester which is like putting plastic bottles in your M/w. As someone previously stated, they are to HOLD bowls, on the table, after being removed from ovens, regular or microwave. To me, it's much easier to plop a hot pad on a table. When I make rice bags, I always use 100% cotton flannel, 100% cotton thread and rice and never longer than 2 min. in oven, at a med. heat. Please be safe.

I use a cotton towel for the batting. The first one I made was a very thin towel, and it works fine.

I put a piece of the batting I'm going to use in the microwave for 3 min on high before I use it in a bowl. If it will burn it will burn before that time is up. If it gets too hot I don't use it either. I can't believe no one does this to test the batting first before using.
