Tater bags have been posted a lot lately. I just need to share my photos with you.

As with any thing that goes in the microwave they shoul always be watched, Thank You for showing us what could happen if not careful.. Marian

I think this is one reason that the Tater batting was created. There were many crafters making them and many fires too. I was told the regular Warm and Natural is not 100% cotton -- even if it says cotton batting, it may have other materials. I am so glad your pictures were not of an entire kitchen!

They look great.

I forgot to ask how long ago was this??and now they got bat just for the potatoes and the microwave ok

I think the photo says 2008. I know it was before they started making the special batting. I'm sure the new batting is better. I just wanted to let everyone know how important it is to use all cotton materials, and I don't know about the embroidery thread. I use rayon thread, and I know I have melted that with my iron.

Thanks for your info hugs Carolyn

Food for thought indeed!

That must have been so scary! I have heard they have had fires even with the new batting. They poked holes in the bating to prevent fire. Not sure why that helps, it was what I had heard.

Now that you mention this, my bag is not "closed" in any way. It is stitched on two adjacent sides of a large square and the rest is "open" perhaps that is a reason mine have not had the issues.

Oh dear me!!Since people say that i do watch mine every time i use it and so far so good:):)hugs.
