I think the potato bags are made to keep the potato warm until you are ready to eat it. You can put the potato in it after it is done.
Microwave bowls were intended to be put under the dish as it is being heated and used as a handle to take the hot dish out, but I don't do that. I use another pot holder to handle the dish to put it into the cloth bowl to transport to wherever. And they are wonderful for a dish of cold ice cream, too , as illinois said.
