Bought on Amazon in 2011, directions lost. Hubby thinks he heated 6 min. before using during dialysis. Does 6 min. sound right? Want to give to friend new on dialysis.

It depends on the microwave power:600-700 watts 8 mins.700-750 watts 7 mins.800-850 watts 6 mins.900-1000 watts 5 mins.1100-1200 watts 4 mins.1300-1500 watts 2 1/2 mins.Do not exceed the times.

Depends on watts of microwave. I do 4minutes for 1100-1200. 6 minutes for 800-850. Hope that helps.

I'm looking at the label right now; and the watts and times listed below by "Animal Friendly" are absolutely correct. I would add that you must be diligent about wrapping it carefully as it gets extremely hot to start. I bought a ready-made cover with velcro for one of my heatable "frizzbees".

You set the time which is kinda a guessing game. Mine takes up to 4 minutes to heat 6 ounces and it is not always consistent. Mine over hearts very quickly and usually powers down before the bottle is even warm.

I used hot water so it would be quicker. I put it in the freeze before bed around midnight and at 6am it was frozen solid. I love them!

I've done as many as 6 in an afternoon. A few tricks... EVERYTHING and I mean everything must be chilled. I put the bucket and paddle in the freezer for an hour before I start. The custard should be about 35 or 36 degrees and kept cold between batches. I also keep the batch size to about 3/4 of max. The room cannot be warm. I keep it out of the kitchen when I'm doing multiple batches back to back. The process times begin to rise as the batches go through. After about 3 batches, I'll let the bucket sit in the machine for about 5 minutes to re-cool before continuing each batch. My process times, which start at close to 25 minutes will rise to about 40 by the last batch. Frankly, if you stay focused on keeping things as cool as possible throughout, you'll be fine. The machine seems capable enough to handle things.

I timed it today and it was a little over 6 hours. It could have something to do with humidity or maybe someone else put in a little more water? I don't know. I had never timed it before but I know from the beginning it was more than 4 hours.

Hello,You should get a least a good 10 minutes before waiting for more hot water. We have not heard any complains regarding time usage of hot water. Thank you

Yes. I believe the directions are something like 220 for 2 hours. I personally put them into a food dehydrator for 2 hours at 165. I have some other kinds which have indicator crystals so you can tell when they are recharged and I do them all in one batch. So far, 2 hours at 165 seems to work just fine. If you have them in an oven, do keep an eye on them so the paper doesn't scorch.

Hey...same thing happened to me. Shake it to 'fluff up' the down. Puff it w your hand too. I did that for about 10 min. Mine ended up expanding. Mine is actually too warm for me. I have to run the heat down 4-5 degrees more than I used to.. but then I don't want to get out of bed in the am. Good luck w it...should be fine. Morrison

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

I e-mailed the distributor and explained the problem of having something that I couldn't use and they e-mailed me not only the directions but recipes. It's easy to use once you know what you have. Hope you have as much success as I did. I use it very often and really like the convenience and the fact that it doesn't heat up my kitchen. I live on the desert so hate anything that adds heat. Good luck

Thanks all for your help and advice. I called 3M and he said I should return it to the store. Sounded like the urethane had hardened in the tube. Returned this afternoon. Got a new tube with a current lot number. Haven't opened it yet. Here's hoping.

Have not tried it yet. Have not tried it yet. Try shorter time in thermos. Check after 6 hours and then maybe add time. Try shorter time in thermos.

The directions used to be on the back of the container and suggested starting with one tablespoon in water. There is a contact number on their website. You might try calling them to see if they can be more help. http://www.wisdomoftheagesllc.com/index.php?option=com_contact&view;=category&catid;=0&Itemid;=3

Don't remember been a while since I used it, but remember it worked great. I just followed directions. Maybe go online ask the Co.&gt;

Any time :). You can reuse it soon, without time waiting :). I'v had mine a year, I used it any time I want. I use it once for around 30 minutes. After put it on my pain place 10-15 minutes, the temperature changed, I put it back to freezer to cool it down, or microwave to heat it for 1 minute, and put it back on my pain place again. It is very good! It works very good for me!

My instructions said to heat the wax for 15 to 20 minutes but it took a lot longer, more than 30 minutes. Just keep checking back until it's all melted but not too hot.

I heat mine for 1 min, 15 seconds, in a 1100 watt microwave. You have to be careful about heating it too long, or you will burn a hole in the material, and cause the packing to leak out. I am buying another one now, because this just happened to me. If you reheat it after using it, and you were still wearing it right before you reheated it, you must reduce the time in the microwave, from when you heat it from room temperature, because the extra heat from your body will cause it to take less time to heat. Also you can burn yourself if you overheat it.
