I know somewhere I have already talked about the batting I bought to make some potato bags. When I went to Hancocks and bought warm and natural batting by the yard what I thought was 100% cotton. Well I had noticed that the package said that it was Federal Requirements 87.5% cotton and 12.5% polypropylene.
Well because I was in doubt about it I decided to call warm and natural company. I told her what I wanted to make and she told me that what I had was not 100%. And she said that the soft and natural was 100% and to use that. But the best thing of all that she had told me was that the potato bags are so popular that they have been working on a batting just for the microwave. And it should be out possibly in the fall. I told her that would be great. Just on time to make some for the Christmas gifts. Can't wait to try it. |
That is great to hear. I'm going to be watching for it.

Thank you for sharing this information with us :D:D:D
|
potato bags?
|
Good info to know about. Thanks for doing the research.
|
I assume potato bags are utilized to make baked taters in the microwave. Sounds kind of cool, actually.
|
Oh, neat! thanks for doing the checking! Yes, Amber , little quilted bags to microwave potatoes. I havent made any, but some of the ladies here do....theres instructions SOMEWHERE here, LOL!
|
Does the potato cook better? Faster?
|
One lady I know bought one at a craft sale, and used it according to the instructions, and it caught on fire in the microwave. Maybe this was a fluke, I'm going to wait until they come out with a special bat for the microwave, rather than risk it. Does seem to be a good idea, and anything that makes a good baked potato is OK in my book. I just don't want it bursting into flames on me.
|
Same here..no flames please
|
I have heard others saying that they caught on fire, be careful!
|
HAHAHahaha I can just see me doing the fire dance in front of the microwave. Once the flames are out I would have to confess my stupidity here for all to share in my angst, while they are laughing their butts off.

I've used regular batting on mine and haven't had a fire!!! I wonder if they cooked the potatoe too long and IT caught on fire and caused the bag to catch fire..... hmmmmm
