Love the bowls. I have made several and people seems to enjoy being able use them in the microwave. I have added one more step (after making a few). Hope this makes sense.....I take a piece of paper and make a round circle to fit in the bottom of the bowl (use your judgement on size). Pin it in then sew around it, move out another 1/4 inch and sew another. This really gives the bowl some stability.

If they use the potholder to cook items, it could smoke, due to the poly. OR Do not heat more than 1 minute at a time.
