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.

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.

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.
