I would use a Wrap and Zap Bag for microwaved baked potatoes. Hopefully this would keep the in interior of the oven dry instead of steamy.
Diane C
I had one for baked potatoes, but it fell onto the stove burner and well lets just say I need to make a new one! They work great!
Margareth C. K. M.
I would definitely use the Wrap-N-Zap Bag for warming tortillas, steaming broccoli, Brussels sprouts, corn-on-the-cob, green beans, veggie medleys, as well as a bag for warming and using heating pads for keeping food warmer and for muscle aches. Multitasker, indeed!
Diane Putzer
I’d use it for baking potatoes and cooking corn on the cob.
Sandra
I would use the Wrap and Zap Bag as a gift for my 92 year old Daddy. His oven has quit and he could do his potatoes, corn, and cabbage and have less clean up.
Bonnye
I would use the bag to make baked potatoes. I have heard that the potatoes are delicious.
Carol T Grimes
Sounds easy and no clean up.
Melanie Eddy
I would use the Wrap and Zap to teach the beginning 4-Her’s to make microwave bags, when it is safe to teach them in person.
Pat
Never thought to use it for corn. Can’t wait to try it. Will make a few more.
Dennis Wm. Small
I have been recovering from brain surgery 5 years ago and finally have started to remember how to use my still new in the box Baby-Loc sewing / embroidery machine! Yippe Skippe. At 71, there is a lot of catching up to do memory wise, I was a single Home Economics Teacher’s kid who was taught how to both cook & sew (on an old black Singer).
– Now I have started sewing COVID-19 masks for VA homeless street Military Vets who need them the most in Minneapolis – St. Paul after the riots! Working with a small group of lady Vets to sew a few hundred each week, so many people do not know how to get them and so many stores charge so much ($2-4.00 cheap Chinese versions).
Clovis
I used the Wrap & Zap Bag for my pot holders I made one Christmas.
Marge
I would use it for potatoes. that is, one at a time and stopping the microwave and turning the bag every 2 minutes or less… Made some up in the past and sold some. Had a lady bring one back to me that was burned/singed at another flea market and throw it at me and Say real loudly “What are you going to do about this?” I gave her another one and told her to follow the instructions with this one… She most likely went past the two minutes for stopping the microwave and turning it. I’ve always included the instructions with them when selling them, but, can’t control how the buyer of them uses them and weather or not they follow the instructions to the “T” or the like. I’ve cut back on making them up and selling them because of that experience with that person… She was really boisterous, loud and got many peoples attention with her behavior that day, that’s for sure. Yes, I used everything 100% cotton when making them up. If making up the Microwave Bowl Pot Holders be sure to tell folks not to try using them for the bagged microwaved popping popcorn. One person did so and the results a fire in their microwave… Was advised of same on that, too… One has to really be extremely careful when using any of these type of items in their microwave, that’s for sure…. Especially the two minute warning/stop/wait a half a minute/resume/repeat every two minutes etc…..
Carol J.
Sounds like it would work great for warming muffins, rolls, and other bread items. Good directions.
Bridget
I think I would use the wrap and zap bag for potatoes and corn. Two of my favorite foods!
Reggie Geier
I plan to make these for my grandsons and their wives for Christmas. They are young marrieds and cook in the microwave 90% of the time. They will definitely use them for baked potatoes and veggies of all kinds.
Carolyn T
I travel light and think this smart little bag, plus a snap closure, will be just right for makeup and a toothbrush!
Christi
Great for tortillas or day old bread.
Susan Du
Best tasting sweet corn ever when using a Wrap-N-Zap bag.
Dixie
I would use the Wrap and Zap Bag for baked potatoes. Also would like to try it for corn on the cob.
Cecilia H
This is definitely something I’m going to make for myself and gifts.Great for potatoes, corn, and tortillas.
Mary Ann
I’ve heard so much about the Wrap-N-Zap bag and it would be great to try it for potatoes and corn. Love the fabric used to demo construction.
Joyce Penney Schroeder
My sister made me one and I like it. It will be great to know how to make these so I can increase my ability to prepare quick meals for my family (not to mention quick, easy, and helpful gifts!).
Susan
Would definitely use the Wrap-N-Zap Bag for cooking corn & potatoes in the microwave. Also, would love to make a few for gifts as I think many would find the bag quite handy.
Patti Z
Such a clever idea to use for corn, must give it a try!
