Do you have to remove the insert? Do you only heat the insert or can you put the whole thing in the microwave?

My wife and daughter both got these for Christmas gifts and even though you would think the microwave would have an issue with the zipper, it doesn't. What we usually do is run it for 30 seconds at a time and we make sure the zipper and zipper pull are folded/tucked inward to insure minimal exposure to the microwaves, just to be sure. The zipper appears to be plastic or plastic coated. We initially had the same concerns. Hope this helps.

The insert is removable, so you can wash the cover when need be. The insert is what's so heavy and you have to keep turning and folding it in different folds to get the whole thing heated, which I didn't like, but, is not a big deal to most I'm sure.

You have to remove the insert for heating. Cover does not go in microwave. A bit of a pain to reinsert it but the warmed pad feels good, stays warm a while.

Have used the product for about 2-months, and always heat the whole enchilada. Have had no adverse effects.

Make a full pot save the remaining and store it in the refrigerator. Then reheat in the microwave,

No metal in the microwave. You can either learn this the easy way or the hard way: youtube.com/watch?v=u_yg5eKjA4U

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

you just add the tortillas to the bottom part with a damp paper towel (to prevent them from getting too dry) and then microwave. if you have the lead it would trap too much heat. it is super simple and easy to use and comes with an explanation. we use it all the time.

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

I remove all metal parts from the lid and warm the water - no greater than 3 minutes - in the microwave. Works great! I wouldn't recommend getting water to a boil in the microwave.

After you soak it in water and saturate it fully, you can microwave it for up to 1 minute. It would stay hot for 30 or more minutes if it is in an insulated container. it just depends on your microwave and how you use it. Primarily, this is for cold storage and transport and pain relief. The heating benefit is secondary.

Take it out of the package and use a microwavable plate that works best. And yes it does taste better when you microwave it. I hope that helped Chris.

You cannot put the insert in the oven or on the stovetop. Hope this clears up your confusion.

I believe this bag came with a microwavable/freezable insert. If you do that you should be within a two hour food safety net, until you can plug crockpot in again. I take mine to church suppers and everything is still hot and tasty. Hope this helps. I like the strap that holds the crockpot in place, also.

three options - leave out on your stove top that will melt it slowly, put in a pot of boiled water, squeeze out an amount and microwave. I recommend the first two. meg

Hi, there. We are remodeling our kitchen and I can't find anything. Interesting, this is my third one in 35 years and never put it in the microwave, always the oven. I'll get back to you when I find it. I know it would not fit in my smaller microwave.

Yes, place the bowl and the red plastic caddy in the microwave. The plastic part stays cool to the touch. The handle makes it easy to remove the bowl when the heating time is finished.

Sure, I always put it in the microwave. Just make sure you don't put in with the filter and the lid on.
