I decided to put this in the main section because it is quilting related and everyone needs to read this.
I like baked potato bags. I have made them in the past. I had scraps of fabric that I loved not enough to really do anything with so I decided to make a baked potato bag. I used 100% thread to piece it, 100% cotton batting and the same thread to quilt it. Yes the fabric was 100% cotton too is there any other kind??? I popped my potato in the bag and put it in the microwave. I decided to stay in the kitchen and after about 2 minutes I smelled something. I looked in the microwave and my cute potato bag was on fire, not smoldering but on fire. I was a chef kitchen fires don't bother me. I pulled out the bag and tossed it in the sink as the bag burned I poured water on it. All my work and it went up in smoke. I will NEVER, EVER, EVER use a baked potato bag again. And you shouldn't either!!!!!!!

Oh, my goodness! I am glad you were in the kitchen when this happened. I often pop things in the mw and then go to another room to do something. I am kind of like some other posters...I could not quite figure the need for them to begin with? I have always pricked my baking potatoes and when they finish baking in the mw, I pull them out and wrap them in a tea-towel to let them 'sit' for a few minutes. Personally, I think that would be a good use for these baking potato bags...not actually baking with them in the mw.
