Heavyweight 100% Cotton that has not been chemically treated making it ideal for cooking potatoes, corn, rolls and warming tortillas in the microwave! Acts as an insulator keeping the moisture inside!

The soft, natural cotton goes through a gentle mechanical cleaning removing the majority of leaf and stem remnants. Shrinkage will be about 3% with your first washing. Many quilters prefer not to pre-wash to achieve the unique effect created by the slight shrinkage of the batting when the completed quilt is washed. Please follow these directions if you wish to pre-wash Warm Tater:
1. Hand wash in a basin or tub with a mild detergent. Do not agitate or spin in your washing machine.
2. Soak for 20 minutes, then rinse several times.
3. Squeeze water out. Rolling in a towel will help to remove excess water.
4. Dry in a cool or warm dryer or allow to dry flat.

Once quilted, Warm Tater is machine washable and dryer safe.

Warm Tater is not intended to be microwaved alone. It is not fire retardant or flame proof and The Warm Company does not make this claim. It may help to understand how a microwave works and subsequently how the properly completed potato bag aids in cooking potatoes, corn and warming tortillas and bread.

A microwave oven uses radio waves at a high frequency of around 2.5 gigahertz to cook food. Radio waves in this frequency are absorbed by water, fats and sugars. The radio waves set the sugar, water and fat molecules in atomic motion resulting in heat. The excited water, sugar and fat molecules heat evenly throughout the food. This is how the microwave cooks from the inside out vs. a conventional oven that cooks from the outside in. Warm Tater being 100% natural cotton fiber that has never been chemically treated will contain extremely limited amounts of water and fat molecules as it is a natural fiber (plant). Without the presence of a substantial amount of water, fat or sugar molecules, the radio waves will eventually find these small molecules in the Warm Tater generating heat quickly and prolonged exposure can lead to scorching followed shortly by ignition.

When used properly in a completed potato bag with a couple of potatoes, corn on the cob or tortillas the Warm Tater acts as an insulator keeping the moisture (as steam) inside the potato bag which aids in cooking/ warming the potato, corn or tortillas evenly. Another consideration is that microwaves vary by manufacturer and by wattage requiring users to establish their own cooking times. An operating microwave should never be left unattended. It is always in your best interest to strictly adhere to your microwave manufacturer’s instructions for use.
