Warm Tater Batting
#1
I just found out about this batting made for the microwave potatoe bags. I haven't seen it in any stores yet.

Interesting!!! It looks like Warm and Natural...I read that it will be out the end of June,
I wonder why a special batting for these bags? Is it because it is "untreated" due to using it with food?

A friend of mine uses one of those bags almost everyday and never has had a problem with it.

Warm and Natural cotton batting and other cotton batting has scrim. Scrim is a very think poly layer and poly is what catches on fire in a high wattage microwave. If you microwave is around 800 watts it think the regular batting is fine. Put a piece of any batting you want to use for the bag in the microwave and test it for the length of baking several potatoes. I wrap my potatoes in a cotton feed sack towel if I use the microwave. Not as pretty but works fine.

I think I may just make cotton bags without any batting in them for tater bags :D:D:D

I made one last month and just used 100% cotton batting sold at the quilt shop. We also used 100% cotton thread. Be sure and mark your bobbin so you know which one to use when you make your next one.

I wondered about these. I have tortilla warmers that have some sort of plastic in them. I wanted to make some, but wasn't sure what they used. I hand washed them and the fabrics bled all over the place. I wonder if you really need the plastic wrap inside (there was batting in it too). I might try this batting for the tortilla warmers. I did read that everything in it needs to be 100% cotton. But I'm sure there's plastic sheeting of some sort in my tortilla warmer that I purchased at the Del Mar Fair.
