When I lived in Hawaii I did my turkey in the microwave and put foil over the breast to protect it from drying out. It has to do with the amount of foil verses food. TV dinners used to be in foil and you could put them in the microwave; I always left them in the box just to make sure.

I feel the same way. Why take a chance? I would choose a fabric that I KNOW would be safe.

I'm guessing you won't hurt the fabric....but beware of a hefty repair bill for your microwave.

Please tell me what a micro bowl warmer is and how it is used.

even if it does not cause a problem in your microwave ie. sparks or fire, that does not mean it would be safe in a different microwave.....so unless it is only for you ~~~~~

Burn a small square of the fabric. If it all turns to ash, it will be fine to use, but if it beads into a hard little ball, do not use.
