Is there an alternate way to heat this pad? Folding along natural seam lines, still won't fit in microwave. Force fold to fit may tear the cover.

Dear Robin; Apparently our Microwave is wider, we just fold in half (long ways) and it fits. So sorry, The Pad really works

I think any other way of folding the pad to heat it would damage the pad. You're better off sending it back and getting a smaller size to fit your microwave.

I didn't have a problem fitting it in the microwave - maybe mine is bigger? I did turn off the carousel though. And flipped it a few times just to make sure it was heated thoroughly and evenly. I've heard some people use a turkey size crock pot to heat them in as well... haven't tried that though.

Hey...same thing happened to me. Shake it to 'fluff up' the down. Puff it w your hand too. I did that for about 10 min. Mine ended up expanding. Mine is actually too warm for me. I have to run the heat down 4-5 degrees more than I used to.. but then I don't want to get out of bed in the am. Good luck w it...should be fine. Morrison

It's not really a heating pad, it's just a fuzzy cloth cover for a heating pad. Hope this helps.

I haven't done so. I have laid it out on a neck pillow and laid my neck on it. I fold it only to put in drawer. You can try it, but I suggest you don't use extreme heat. I love my moist heating pad. Good Luck.

I strongly suggest contacting the manufacturer. My opinion, however, would be that if there was any food touching the cover, the food might get too hot and damage the cover.

The microwavable insert is large enough that it must be folded to fit inside any microwave. I folded mine in half, warmed; then in half the other way, and warmed again.Take care to WARM it only, as I cooked mine long enough to melt a small hole in it which caused unpleasant leakage.

My husband microwaved ours and didn't know about unsnapping the lid. The plastic ring in the lid is now warped and it no longer snaps on. I you open the lid and move it askew so that the steam can escape, you'd probably be ok.

On the front of the package the manufacture states do not fold or cut......do not lay directly on open flame....and so on. Perhaps it may melt at the cut point.By the way, I have used this on a round grate and the cooking mat does much better on a rectangular cooking surface like a gas grill or larger charcoal pit. Placing it half on and half over the edge of a smaller carousel grate may possibly work. It is shown that way in pictures on the front of this package. When I cover the round grill it chokes off the charcoal slowing the cooking.

I have used briefly in microwave for some 30 seconds with no problem. I'm not sure that I would use any longer. I heat the water in another dish and pour into the bottom of the warming plate. Generally well pleased with dish. Keeps food warm for feeding. Kathy Summers

I agree that it is not as hot as it probably could be, but I don't add cream so that helps. I use the microwave to heat it up should it not be hot enough. Descaling does not make it hotter. Already been down that road. Maybe we should contact the company directly.

I think you have to discount the plug from heating pad , or from wall. I'm using mine and it still don't get very hot, WARM at best. Try both of these, maybe it will work. Other than that I'd contact manufacturer. Goodluck!

I haven't figured out how yet. Tried twice and was not to my liking. We bought this for warming up foods that don't do well in Microwave. Have a 4 slice toaster for toast. Sorry!

Don't think microwave safe, says not on bottom, plus think rubber might melt?, haven't tried though colin

I researched this before answering you and found either no information or that it was not microwaveable. Not one source said it was safe to microwave. If memory serves, i believe the leaflet that came with this thermal said it was not microwaveable. Still a nice product though!

Take the gel pack out of the liner. I place gel pack in microwave for 1 minute each side and slide it back into cover.

The blue cover cannot go in the microwave. When I take my cover off, the white pack inside has directions on the little tag. 60 seconds, then 30 seconds at a time until it's good for you. Then put the blue cover back on (so you don't get pad greasy). Wait two hours before re-heating it.
