Microwave Bowl Holders
I am trying to decide if it's cost effective to add some microwave bowl holders to my craft show inventory. I know that cotton batting without scrim is pricey. I have never seen these bowls for sale in my area, so I was wondering what the 'going rate' is for them. If you have sold these bowls, or seen them for sale at a craft show, could you please tell me what kind of price they are going for? Thanks so much.

a friend of mine makes many many of these. she pays for the 100% cotton batting. another friend had purchased one and it did burn anyway. the user just has to use caution with not leaving it in the micro too long. I think my friend sells them for $11-$12

Recently I saw them selling for $5 at a small town quilt show. That seems more than reasonable. I intend to make some but will only use Wrap-N-Zap 100% natural cotton batting. ;-) http://www.pellonprojects.com/products/wrap-n-zap/

Total up your supplies first, 2 fat quarters, cotton batt and cotton thread. I really can't see anyone paying more then $10 here and with your labor, I wouldn't think it would not be cost effective. I don't use my microwave bowls in the microwave. I just use regular 80/20 batt and put my bowl in after it comes out of the microwave. It really isn't one size fits all bowls either?

Everything needs to be cotton, including thread. I probably wouldn't use metallic fabric either. I also think there was some confusion with Warm & Natural. The batt is 100% cotton, but many people don't know that it contains a scrim, which is polyester. The other thing is you should only be warming food in the bowl for a minute or two.
