I don't have a microwave oven in any of the places where I stay. Is it effective to use a heating pad or some other means for warming it up?

You can take a regular plug in heating pad and wrap it in and leave it there for 10-15 minutes (just watch if of course). It will take on the heat. You can also put the pad on top of the headache hammock as long as it is no too hot and use it directly that way. I too had this issue and had to improvise but contacted the creators of the device and this is what they told me to do. Good luck.

I have only used this for ice, and it's an excellent product. My guess is that it was not designed to be heated. I think that putting it in the microwave might harm the fabric.

I have not tried it, but given the lid is very secure, even if I did try it, I would microwave it without the lid. food does stay fairly warm, so unless you want piping hot, you may not need to microwave.

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!

Husband puts the pad in our microwave for 80 seconds...(figuring different microwave ovens work differently). this makes our pad nice and warm and moist. He says it holds the heat comfortably for an hour. (he has lower back problems)...

The only thing I use mine for is to warm up foods. The foods warmed up are just like they were cooked. I use it in the place of the microwave.

Yes! Remember, always cover your plate with a micro plate cover or paper towels. This will keep your food hot. I very pleased with this Microwave Oven.

Yes, you never have to use the microwave mechanism. Every Microwave / Convection oven I have had has worked this way including this one. Some allow multiple stages using both, but I have never done this. I have just used the microwave by itself to cook something or I have just used the convection. Never both for the cooking the same item. This is my third Micro / Convection and my favorite so far. My toaster Oven as well as my regular oven are also convection ovens. So I haven't used it much. In my motorhome my Micro / Convection is the only oven I have, so it gets used quite a bit. A professional cooking instructor has told me she uses convection for almost everything, except baking cakes and the like.

You can reheat anything you normally would reheat in a microwave oven. It just can't hold that much

I am fairly certain this should only be heated in a microwave oven. But, I would suggest that you write to the manufacturer to be sure!

The hot pad itself has heating instructions. Since every oven is different, it is best to start with a shorter time.

No,it's not. actually,u can warm it up in microwave but wax will get firm in a short time.u will have to go back to microwave many times before u finish waxing a large area. If u need to wax a small area then it could be warmed up in microwave easily.

We use a heating pad but they dont stay hot long. Probably should heat in pot of water.

I experimented on the heating time starting with a minute at a time. I found that heating the pad no longer than 4 minutes on high to be sufficient. Also do not heat the pad inside the blue cover.

There is a small hole a few inches from the bottom of the Kitty Tube. If your heating pad has a detachable plug with a small end (like a cell phone) it will work. I use a microwaveable disc I bought on Amazon and it works great. I heat it up, put it in the tube under the cusion, and it stays warm over 10 hours.

I would use the oven not the microwave. Unless you have a specific recipe. I used it in the oven to make heart shape crayons. I cut up crayons and baked them at 150 degree for 15 minutes.

I like hearing that. Microwaving would be faster and easier. Do you remember the link to the page online that says it can be microwaved?
