Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I wondered if the corn would eventually dry out from heating. I may empty the warmers and give that cracked corn to the birdies. Perhaps rice would be better.

I have made tons of these rice bags, we call them heaties, and I use the cheapest rice I can find and I have never had a problem. All my friends love them and request them. They are especially good for neck and back problems.

I think you need a bit of moisture to help prevent scorching. One site recommends spritzing bagwith water to add some moisture or just put a cup of water in micro. with the bag. That said, i have several that have been used for years with out anything additional being done to them. I have evem filled an odd sock with rice for a fast heating bag.
