IMPORTANT! When cooking any vegetable wrapped in fabric, limit the time to two minute intervals. Pellon® does not recommend cooking on high longer than two minutes. When longer cooking time is needed, stop, turn the item while wearing oven mitts, then start again. Never leave a microwave unattended while cooking. Allow to cool before handling. Use only 100% cotton fabrics, batting, and thread.
