Thread: Microwave Bowl Holders

I make tons of microwave bowl holders to sell at our local farmer's market. I use W & N batting & have never had a problem or complaint about them catching on fire. I do use only cotton fabric & thread. Mine sell for $8.00 and I can't make enough of them.

I've made a lot of these but was wondering how yours turn out after they are washed. Mine sort of collapse after I washed them. I used a layer of batting on each side & thought they would stand up to washing. Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with it after it is washed...just not as "pretty" as before...just sort of flat. They are still very, very usable & I don't think I go a single day without using mine.

I did not read all the posts, but be sure to use the cotton batting with NO scrim. I have made potato bags with this and have no problems....the bags stay in the microwave usually for 8-12 minutes with no problems. Of course I never leave the microwave going and move to the next room and I turn the bag over half way through cooking.

I have made these many times and never a problem. I always make sure it is a 100% cotton for everything. I use the wrap and zap batting. They make great gifts, done right of course.
