Can you heat the packs up without a microwave?

Hi, Alex...the product comes with a little empty bag that they suggest putting uncooked rice in and then heating it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up. I have not tried to heat the rice another way but I would suspect you could carefully saut it, dry, in a pan until warm but be careful. to to burn it, and then add the rice to the bag.

No. But it really helps. There are recipes online that give hints on how to make the cheese without a microwave.

You can probably lightly microwave food in them if you are careful. As long as you heat food up in short intervals like 90 seconds at a time stirring in between intervals you will probably be okay. Setting the microwave on 5 minutes and leaving it would melt the containers undoubtedly.

I don't think you can heat it up in microwave. It has tendency to catch fire.

That I know of yes. Put the packs in the head piece. Zip it up and then put it in the microwave.

I sent an e-mail to Caddy Wraps with this same question and I was told you can heat the packs in hot water (and he advised to wear gloves when putting them in the face caddy because it'll be really hot). I'm going to try it (probably not *boiling* but just hot water)

Yes you can.; If you look on the bottom you will see the microwave symbol and I just used the small blue one today, works great. Watch fore the ones that say DO NOT microwave.

I wouldn't think so, in fact I think they would be damaged by the high heat of a microwave oven. Drying them in a warm (not with the oven on, just after it has warmed up a little and then shut off) might work. My question is how did they become so saturated that the would need to be dried. They are not meant to soak up liquid water, just water (humidity) in the ambient air.

Yes, I heated mine with a hair dryer. You can also use a heat gun if you have one.

You can microwave the whole pouch standing up. Do not lay it down and microwave.

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.

You could... But wouldn't recommend it... It gets quite hot.. Wasn't to warm baby clothes up? Sir on it.. Or... Microwave it? Lol

No. It has an insert that you microwave that is similar to an ice pack but is microwavable. This is an awesome product. I would totally recommend it. It lasts for hours.

That's a good question. However, I don't see how you can heat it evenly at proper temperature without a microwave. It just does not make logical sense to me. The microwave will heat it to proper temperature using only 25 to 30 seconds. Also, I have found this to be a superior product.

No, you can place them in hot water. Just be careful and watch it you don't want to ruin the packs

No, and I'd not microwave either. They are store & serve. The big one is absolutely the best salad keeper available.

I wouldn't. However, the contents fit very neatly into a standard 12-oz Corelle (or similar) bowl even frozen, so there's no need to microwave the container.
