Do you just use cotton fabric and fill with dry rice?
I am wondering if you could make them to fit under dishes when you serve buffet style so the food will stay hot?
Has anyone made them?? If so, how long do you heat them up in microwave??
Lots of questions here :)
I've never used them to keep food warm, but I do have a couple for my hands (I bought them). It's easy to decide how hot---whatever your hands can stand. Keeping food warm is yet another story.
I will urge you to put them in a zip lock bag if not too hot. Remember you can't wash them.
Again, it's a differernt story, but I wear gloves inside my hand warmers to keep them as clean as possible.
