I was not aware that JoAnn's carries 100% cotton batting for using in microwaves. What is the brand name on that?
I already have warm n' natural that is 100% cotton for using in microwaves.
My understanding of these bowl potholders is for protecting our hands when 'heating' something up, not cooking. I have some bowls that I use for a minute in the micro and man, they are hot-hot when you go to grab the bowl.
BTW, great discussion on this topic. We always want to be safe with gifts of love we make for others.
