sounds really cool idea for christmas gifts so now we need a pattern?

I still do mine the Old Fashion way in the oven. No microwave here. Never know when my ele. will go out. I sware by my gas.

I have used the potato bag for years and made many for family and friends to use. You must be sure that you keep the bag clean and free from all grease. DO NOT USE IT AS A POT HOLDER. I have heard of them catching on fire if left in the micrwave to long. If you make them as gifts include this in the instructions. They are a timesaver but you have to use care in using them.

LOL.... guess you wouldn't need his and hers warming KY jelly would you now??? ( am i allowed to write that if not just delete it.)

Are these potato bags meant to be used in the microwave? For how long? On high?
Someone mentioned warming bread, etc. in them - how does that work?
They sound very intersting - but have lots of questions!

trupeach- you probably would just use spray crisco or pam :):):)

Terry- we usually go 7 minutes in our microwave for a baked potato or an ear of corn. It depends on your microwave. I'd start at less minutes as some microwaves are quite wazoo and cook much faster. And we usually do a couple at a time. The sweet potatoes were cooked one at a time and cooked about the same time as the regular potatoes. The flavor of fresh corn done in these bags is absolutely incredible.

I often just wrap my potato in a kitchen towel to bake. Not for guests, but fine in a hurry pinch.

With corn I just remove all but 2 layers of husks and put in the microwave, 2 ears at a time for 5 minutes. Remove with potholders and the silk and husks slide off easily. Too nummy! No bag required.

gaigai- that is a great idea. I must try it... Oh wait, it snowed and froze all the corn plants and they are all dead.... sigh... must wait until next year, but I will definitely try then :) :) thank you for that tip.

Just got back online and read this thread..and I noticed that there have not been any directions sent in as yet....
at least since I read it.....
maybe sending this off, I will find that my answer is already listed.
if not, I do hope that someone sends in the directions for them...
