A thought .... re the varying experiences when microwaving with the cozy ...
... could some of the differences be the makeup of the bowl?
Eg. china, pottery, porcelain, etc.
I have several flat soup bowls that I microwave with vegetables, leftovers, etc.
Some of them are too hot to handle without a pot holder.
Some I can handle without needing that pot holder.
Same foods. Same times. I chalk that up to the difference in the china.
So could that be an insight into why the different experiences when using the cozies?

I've been researching the internet for answers and found this at the website of the batting I used. Responses please? Still confused, as I always thought the polyester melted but did not ignite. On the other hand, cotton does ignite. So, thinking the 100% cotton would ignite, but the polyester would melt. Of course, I wouldn't want either to happen. Her is what is on their website: Fairfield’s does not chemically treat its products to prohibit burning. 100% polyester products are flame retardant by nature because they will not burn unless they are in direct contact with a flame. Fairfield products made from, or blended with, natural fibers are not flame retardant, nor have they been treated for flame resistance.

There is nothing certain at all in what I have said, as being a reliable answer.
And as for what bowl? Sounds too risky to feel safe as to what people will do.
At least for me it is.
With all due respect, do as you want,
but do you really feel you could pass these along to others,
with a clear conscience, after all that has been said here?

I have two of them that a dear friend made for me. I've never thought about putting them in the microwave. I heat my bowl of food and as I get it out of the mw I put it directly into the cozy. No problems.. I love them.
