Can the mask be soaked in water before microwaving it, so that you get moisture and heat both?

This product contain Hydro Pearls that continually absorb & store water molecules from the air. When microwaved the water is released as clean, moist heat. It only recommends wetting the product to wash and clean. When I use it does feel like a moist heat. I am very pleased with this product.

I don't believe this is a good idea. You will notice some moisture without doing this. You may want to contact the manufacturer directly.

You do not need to soak it. It is amazing. The material inside when heated , produces moisture.Hope that helps :)

I put extra moisturizer on my eyes before using the mask and love the way it feels! Hasn't seemed to do any damage to the mask or it's effect.

Yes, BUT use caution. Lift the heating element up . I have taken a bath towel and wrapped the element up. WIPE all surface up with dry towel. Make sure ALL moisture is gone BEFORE Using. This is great product But safety prevails.

No. Take the lid off before microwaving. Then put it back on afterwards (even right afterwards is okay: I put the lid back on so I have something cool to carry the container by).

Silicone can go in the microwave, oven, and stove - just not over direct flame. You're fine to use it in a water bath as long as it's really silicone and not rubber!

Sorry my first response was incorrect. The gel pack does say it can be microwaved for a minute. I would hesitate to do that but it says it can be done.

I'm pretty sure you can. I have done this a few times myself without any adverse effects. I do know for certain, that they make a Freeze 'n Steam bag (FSFSBC0316) which allows you to freeze and then steam in the microwave.

No, just be sure to use enough product - don't be stingy with it, and use a clean microfiber towel to dry.

I have not used it in "moist" mode but as I interpret the instructions it appears that one must dampen the heated side of the pad cover. I have not tried this and am wary of it. Dry heat has been very effective for my problem, so i haven't needed to try it damp.

It depends on what you are baking. If you're making a steamed pudding (like plum pudding) it's best to wrap the whole container including the water-bath container. That way the item you're making will retain the intended moisture. If it's a custard or a quiche you're preparing, there is no need to cover it. Hope this helps.

Not at all. If you tend to dry you can put moisture on over it. You only have to wait 15 minutes or so. They sell this product in my dermatologist office. I have been using it for a few years.

Yes you can. You may need a little more heat than shrink wrap though but not much.

The beads absorb moisture from the air. When heated, it is released. Works great, without wetting and is reusable over and over. Can't imagine it molding unless you stored in an airtight bag after heating before it cools, which I would NOT recommend doing.

No, I don't think so and doing a quick search on the Internet they said no Melamine is not microwavable

I washed mine in the washer, but not hot water, the last time. I put it in a mesh bag to protect it. The washer twisted the wire a little, I straighten it. I line dry the mask. I think the washer cleans it better.

I just used them like the came in the package and they worked fine. However, once they had to absorb moisture, you can dry them in the oven, even if they don't seem wet.

It can not be submerged but you can put it under running water and clean it. Me personally I run hot water after use and then wipe it down with bounty to dry. I really like this item. You need to experiment at first until you get the desired effect from different meats and food you prepare. But I keep a log and then I know what to do next time. Good luck and happy microwave cooking.

I have not tried microwaving it, but I probably would not recommend doing so. Try putting hot or warm water in your drink instead if you are trying to break up protein powder.
