I love the baking bags, but it must be rotating. And I should of first said 100% cotton and it must of been washed before the bags was made. also better if the batting was washed before too. Always use a potatoe setting on the microwave not 5 oe 8 min on full setting. I still have the same one from over 5 yreas ago and it does a most wonderful job on hte baked potatoes. BUT Never leave it unatended.

They are a wonderful product, if all directions are followed.

They tell you to rinse your potato and wrap it in a paper towel, this way it is damp and then steams it while it cooks

DO NOT, repeat DO NOT use Insul-Brite in the microwave!!! It isn't made for that and the manufacturer specifically warns against using it! It has metallized mylar coating and may damage your microwave. Insulbrite is used to reflect heat away from surfaces, so you wouldn't want to use that anyway.

DO USE Warm Tater batting, also by the Warm company, for any products used in the microwave. It is an all-cotton batting, with no scrim, made specifically for use in this kind of project.

Thanks for your attention!
