I used w and n 100% cotton batting until the warnings terrified me into using Tater batting. Not one has complained and I haven't heard of any fires so far . I labeled my bobbins "cotton" to make sure I don't mess that up. I did put the batting in the wave for about 5 minutes and no problem. As I said I'm now too terrified to use other than special batting. I try to but it on sale.

I made my microwave bowls with all cotton. Cotton fabric, cotton thread and a double layer of cotton batting (W&N). Best not to use polyester (thread, batting, fabric) because they can melt in the microwave. I love these bowls. Great for making my oatmeal in the morning and warming up leftovers.
I posted before I read the post about W&N. So far I haven't had any problems but will use them differently now. My original bowls I use the bowl batting that I purcdhased on sale at JA's for 50% off.

please be very careful what you put in your bowls... especially if you plan to put them in the microwave, or to gift them. I purchased a potato bag from a craftshow, gifted it to my MIL, and it started on fire in her microwave the first time she used it. Not cool! I had been using one for a couple of years, and had chalked up her bad experience to the fact it was a high powered microwave. About a year ago, mine started on fire, as well, in my 20 year old microwave that didn't even have the power to pop popcorn.
