I made some of the potato bags with the Warm Tater Batting and am still using them. I love them.

I started mine on fire, but I had used it probably a year. I think that the bag was gapping open as I wasn't careful enough to shut it properly, so my fault. I thought it made such good tasting potatoes and so quick. Boo mine is gone now.

Never did a potato get so much interest from so many. Lol. Never could understand why you would put a potato in a beautiful little quilted bag to cook it anyway. Next thing we will have quilted dashboard covers to keep the poor little dashboards from being overlooked in the summer. Hmmmn, maybe if a made a pattern......lol

That's exactly how we do it. They always turn out great. I've not yet been bit by the potato bag bug. Just seems more laundry to me, although those microwave bowl hotpad thingies are staples in our house now

Oh, that's a great idea. What a nice way to dress up the inside of the car.

I never saw the advantage of them and never used them again after one caught fire in the micro.

I had a friend give me one -- but it's also big enough for tortillas. I've used it for potatoes and it works fine. I don't normally use it cuz to me it's another thing to wash. I hold onto it so I can try it on tortillas -- some day.

I have one question --- how LONG did you put it in the microwave for?????? I've burned foods that are NOT in the bag just by putting the food in too long.....

Is the purpose of the bags to contain the exploded potato that you didnt pierce?
