Are you sure about the microwave watts? My microwave is very old, 700 watts so I heat for 7 minutes, then leave it in microwave for another minute and it comes out very, very hot.

I doubled the heating time. Otherwise, you're right, it doesn't feel warm and doesn't last as long.

What wattage is your microwave? Mine is 1000 watts and I did 4 minutes (I think). I have not used them this year yet. Be sure to remove the cover before microwaving. The microwave part will be very warm. Handle with care - use pot holder if necessary.

I strongly suggest that anytime you employ a microwave to heat, or cook, any food or beverage,you must handle it with care, and use a pot holder, or oven mitt!Gee whiz, I would asssume that you would understand that it is going to be very warm, or hot.Is that not what a microwave oven is intended to do?Of course, this is just a suggestion from a person who had to learn his lesson, the hard way!

No, these do not get hot. We are able to remove plates/bowls/cups without the whole container taking on heat from the microwave. Areas not in direct contact with food/liquid being heated are not hot. HTH

No directions included. I just follow microwave instructions of whatever I am heating up.

I've never seen other brands or products like this, that aren't actually an electrified hot plate. Has anyone seen others? My alternative was running them under hot water, which is a lot more work & waste (water, gas, time, & have to dry them). These I just pop in the microwave for 25-30 seconds depending on the size of the plate. I'm reluctant to try things like microwaving them in a damp towel.

So I bought these for my daughter as a gift, so I asked her and she told me that they don't get "very" hot... so my assumption is, they are microwave friendly. I can certainly tell you that she Loves Them... since she's in college... she's very microwave friendly! :o)

get yourself a $25 wax heater on Amazon. It will be easier to keep the mess and hassle all contained instead of attempting other microwave options suggested. With a heater the temp will be more consistent too.Gigi Wax Warmer (Model: 0225)

My plug gets slightly warm but it certainly is not too hot to the touch nor is it melting. That sounds like a definite problem either with the stove itself or your outlet. I would try a different outlet and see if you have the same problem. I wouldn't leave it plugged in if it's that hot and especially if it's melting.

I am not sure but they would get very hot and I wouldn't chance it. Maybe go directly to their website for confirmation? They do heat up in the microwave.

I warmed them in a pan. They cooked extremely quick. I haven't tried in a microwave. They are very thin so they do break. Inedible raw.

Hello,Yes, If you want to warm the cloths, you would use a microwave. Basically, you'd leave them in the package and follow heating instructions on the package (don't overheat and be careful so you don't get burned). If you follow the directions, it's pretty safe to use heated.

Hadn't noticed. My issue is that the microwave seems under-powered. How are your cook times?

Ooooops, was I supposed to microwave it? I obviously didn't read the directions. I have been using it for weeks without any problems. Hope that helps

I believe that my microwave is an 1100 W unit. I usually warm for 2 mins. Seems like it gets even warmer for a few mins. after I remove it, but then it does eventually cool down. This holds the heat very well, and I may warm even less the next time I use it. You have to trial and error it. If it's too hot, wait a few mins. before you use it. Next time you warm it, try 15 seconds less. Or you can warm for 30 secs. and feel it then rewarm it till you get the temp you want. I like mine as hot as I can stand it so I don't have to rewarm it as quickly. I like it. Hope that helps.

I tried the microwave method & it didn't get that hot. So I used the oven method, putting it in ahead of the rolls, then adding them when the timing was such they all came out together. Worked super well keeping the rolls hot for a long, long time that way. Don't have my instructions anymore, but it seems I needed to add a cup of water to the microwave or something like that & for 2-3 minutes.

I have the same problem with a 1000W microwave heating for two minutes. I have no solution to the problem--I should have returned it but it is too late now. It does not serve the purpose for which I bought it--to keep my coffee pot warm as I sit on the balcony reading the morning paper.
