During bad weather I lose my electric but I never fear I have a fireplace and I cook my potatoes just inside the hearth. YUUUMMMMMOOOOOOOOOO

This is exactly how I use the bag and have never had a problem. When I wash the potato (or sweet potato), I leave it wet and wrap in paper towel (which also gets wet). Perhaps that is why I haven't had the problem.

It said if you put just 1 potato in the larger bag that it could overheat & possibly burn. Also to wash the potatoes & don't dry them. Wrap in paper towel & place in bag. I have read evrything that I could find about them because I wanted them for Christmas & I will put all the directions with it. Hopefully the Warm Tater batting is the answer.

oh my, I just pop my pot in the micro on the glass turn table in there and cover them with the cover and bake...easy as anything....
BTW, I never leave the kitchen anymore when I am cooking. I just go from one thing to the other and by the time I have make several things for a couple days, everything is done and I'm out of there and don't have to worry about watching anything.
When I put the kettle on for tea, I put the timer on because I always forget the water boiling and the timer reminds me....
