I was just going to ask what material goes into this. Does anyone know?

Sure glad you cleared that all up! Geesh I was lost.

There are two layers of fabric with batting in between. You should use all cotton fabrics, thread and batting - anything synthetic could melt or catch fire.

Of course, if the cotton gets hot enough it will also burn.

They make the most beautiful baked sweet potatoes I've ever eaten!

Yeah, but what are they for? Storing potatoes? And why would they be in the microwave?

They are for cooking potatoes and corn in the microwave.

Okaaay... I just put my potatoes and sweet potatoes in the microwave on the baked potato setting and they come out great

The same bag is used for both potatos and corn on the cob...I checked my pattern and you cut 2 pieces of cotton fabric 9 1/2" X 25 1/2"...batting the same size...Stitch most of the way around, leaving a 3" area to turn. Fold down about 2", fold up the other end to meet and stitch the 2 sides...I know...clear as mud. Sorry that's the best I can do today...will look to see if I can find one that is made...Think they are all gone.

I keep seeing these at craft fairs lately. They seem to be the hottest thing.

to keep potato from exploding in the Microwave. It makes a mess to clean up.

Has anyone seen or made one for the corn? I haven't even made the potato one yet. But plan on making these for christmas gifts this year.

I have made the potato ones, but be sure not to use fabric with the gold threads in them.
