I have used microwave bowl holders made with regular Warm and Natural, cotton fabric and cotton thread for over eight years now and have NEVER had a problem with them even if food was on them. Perhaps the original poster did not use 100% cotton thread or fabric? Maybe she tested them without putting a bowl of something in them? In that case there would be no place for the waves to go but the fabric. In the beginning I only microwave for a minute or two before stopping to stir/check the food. Now if the veggies take 6 - 7 minutes then that is how long they stay in there and the worst thing to happen is the holder may be warm from the steam.
