    Thank you Cari, I'm sure they did! That's a very reasonable (low) price.

    a friend of mine makes many many of these. she pays for the 100% cotton batting. another friend had purchased one and it did burn anyway. the user just has to use caution with not leaving it in the micro too long. I think my friend sells them for $11-$12

    Recently I saw them selling for $5 at a small town quilt show. That seems more than reasonable. I intend to make some but will only use Wrap-N-Zap 100% natural cotton batting. ;-) http://www.pellonprojects.com/products/wrap-n-zap/

    I just purchased Wrap-N-Zap from Walmart online. Very good price. ( I actually got it free since I used my "Savings Catcher" reward dollars!). I have made a few, but only for myself and gifts. But if I would sell them, I wouldn't charge less than $10.

    Total up your supplies first, 2 fat quarters, cotton batt and cotton thread. I really can't see anyone paying more then $10 here and with your labor, I wouldn't think it would not be cost effective. I don't use my microwave bowls in the microwave. I just use regular 80/20 batt and put my bowl in after it comes out of the microwave. It really isn't one size fits all bowls either?

    Thanks for the tip. I never knew such a thing existed. I am thinking about trying to make a couple of these myself

    I made and sold quite a few last year for $10 each, using Wrap n Zap. It can be expensive but if you watch for sales you can get a deal. I just bought a bolt of Wrap n Zap from Walmart online, 22 x 10 yards for $7.50 including tax. Had it shipped to local store so no shipping cost. That's enough to make 31-32 bowls

    Quiltaddict-You stated you just purchased a bolt of wrap N zap from WalMart, for $7.50 incl. tax, when I went to their site I found the bolt priced for $41. Did you buy an entire bolt or what to get that much for $7.50? I bought the only size bag they had in the store a few weeks ago at Walmart for $4.98 and it was a small bag with a yard or so of wrap n zap.

    I was skeptical about this too. Just don't think you are going to find 10 yards of Wrap and Zap batting for $7.50.... I bought one yard in the package and it was $5 or so.

    regarding catching fire -- we sell microwave potato bags 100% cotton -- with the instructions not to use them ore than 8 minutes, and then they must be cooled to room temp before using again. Longer use could cause problems as noted!
