Okay, I have a somewhat related question....Before I go and make a bunch of these....Would the same thing happen with a Microwave bowl holder = basically a wrap that goes around a soup bowl for instance = that spends time in the
micro while the soup is heating? |
Sorry - that's what happens when you don't read the posts..........

It started smoking so bad and has a big brown burn spot in the inside and now I have a stinky kitchen to boot. Will never make one of these again. Perhaps others have had better luck but I feel it's just not worth the anxiety!

I have no idea what the appeal is for these bags. I washed my potatoes, put small slits in them, wrap in a paper towel and microwave. They come out perfect every time. It's just one more thing to find a place for in the kitchen, IMHO.

I had considered making some of these bags for a fair I was attending, now I'm glad that I didnt'. I would not have liked to be selling a product that would incinerate in the microwave. Thanks again for the tip

Sorry for your experience, but glad to have the info. Those bags were in the back of my mind on the to do list sometime in the future...nah..not now.
|
I stab my potatos with a fork (to let out steam) and microwave them directly on the turntable... No quilt required!!

I have to tell this story. I laughed so hard. My son and very soon to be wife at the time, came for supper and we were making steak on the grill and baked taters. So I made a comment we had to be home soon enough for me to get the taters in the oven. She looked at me and said..in a very serious voice and look on her face.. WELL WHO EVER HEARD OF PUTTING TATERS IN THE OVEN?? You make them in the microwave. I said and how were they ever made before the microwave came?? We still chuckle over this one.. so funny..
