Last summer I heard that cooking potatoes in a microwave potato bag has amazing results. I had to try it. I was very pleased with the experiment! I agree with the reviews about the Microwave potato bag. If you are looking for a great gift for Valentine's Day, you can't go wrong with this bag. It is practical, cheap, useful, and unique. This would be a super gift for guys or gals who own a microwave. Follow through and I will show you how easy it is to make.

Signing UpStep 1: Pre-cautions And Warnings
Disclaimer: I am not an expert on making or using these bags. You are at your own risk if you choose to make them. I strongly suggest you to go to the link that I provided for more detailed information.
Credit: The Warm Company I could not get the link to work so Google The Warm Company. Their site offers a lot of reviews and information along with the free pattern.
It is important to use 100% cotton batting. (I recommend using The Warm Companies batting to be safe.) The bag will catch on fire unless you use 100% cotton!
To be safe use 100% cotton thread. I am not sure if polyester is OK.
Do not leave microwave unattended when in use.
I would not use the bag if your microwave is very hot.
If your microwave has a turntable; the bag must rotate freely or it will burn.
If you don't have a turntable, turn the bag over at half time (suggested cooking time) to prevent scorching.
Wash and dry the bag before use.
Do not microwave the bag unless food is inside it.
Make sure the finished bag will clear at least 1 inch all the way around in the microwave.

this is a cool Instructable!!! TY for sharing Ma'am!! :)
I know that I do not have the ability, or experience, to make one of these, but still I think this is awesome!!!!!
I have a guest here from South Korea and threw 3 potatoes into the bag and nuked them for just three minutes. My guest was protesting to me that there was no way the potatoes were ready to serve. Then I popped them out onto a plate and she was shocked. Now I am making one for her to take home with her to shock all her friends. Just need the right fabric to remind her of this visit. Probably something with corn or pigs on it. ha ha This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. ha ha

I wonder if a sheet of the material can just be used to wrap around the potato with equal results...?
loosely. Please remember to use all cotton fabrics. If you try this it would be interesting to see how well it works. If by chance you do not do this, I will try it when I can and post a new Instructable about it. I have been a little busy lately but I will try as soon as I can. Maybe a week or two. Thanks for commenting and have a great evening!
