Hot dish holders
 

At sewing group on Thursday, some of the gals were making hot bowl holders used in the microwave. I decided to see if I could make something to hold a hot casserole coming out of the oven so that it could to used at the table. I searched QB and saw a square one I liked so I whipped one up. I didn't have any batting that is used for potholders, (what is it called? My mind is a blank right now). I used two layers of cotton batting. I don't think that is enough to keep from getting burned, but if you grab the tabs, you can get a really good hold on it to pass it at the table. I need to get to JoAnns to get the right batting. I'm thinking with the next one, I might use some Timtex on the bottom to give it more stability.

Looks good!

Great job!

Kool (or hot) idea. BrendaK

good idea. maybe just add a couple more layers of cotton batt, or what's the one with the foil in it to it. adds more stability and acts as a potholder.
great idea you came up with there.

great idea :)

Great idea. And handy.

very nice!!!!!

I think Lynnie is thinking of Insulbrite. That would be a good addition...good thinking, Lynnie!

Insulbrite has a foil added to it...check to see if it is suitable for microwave use
