can you microwave it instead of boiling it? Is what you're heating a gel material? I'm wondering if they allow it on airplanes â" anyone know?

You cannot microwave it but you only have to boil it to get it back to its cooling position... You click a button to make it hot. The material is some liquid that then, when the button is clicked, has a chemical reaction and becomes crystallized. I have used mine on airplanes, but I purchased my first one in an airport. I would say either show it to them and say it's for a medical condition, and they'll swab it, or don't even take it out when you go through security.

You can't really microwave it, since the plastic around it going to melt, and its not a gel material its a liquid that once you snap the metal piece inside turns hard and releases heat.

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 can bake with it in the oven. Not sure about microwave? I don't really care for it.

I am not recommending it, but check with the manufacturer on boiling it. A lot of these types of products have the option to microwave OR boil... Good luck!

Why, are you working on some kind of Frankenferter??? If your asking if it can be used in the Microwave the answer is no.

I take it out the night before so it thaws in the fridge. Shouldn't microwave it cuz it may cause hot spots.

oh- i am not so sure you should be putting it in the microwave..i don't know if that might negatively impact the therapeutic aspectsbecause it is so pure and unprocessed it contains an amount of bee's wax-- if i need some to be liquid i just take mine and put it in a container and rest that container in a bit of boiling water. if i am using it in hot tea or something hot and liquid i just carve out a bit of a chunk with a flat knife that i've put into the hot liquid--it dissolves very quickly

Yes, that's how I used mine. It's definitely NOT for use in a microwave, though.

I've only used the cold portion by freezing it ... but a previous one I owned was fantastic if heated in the microwave. I'm not sure what you're talking about in terms of 'hot water' though since these are not fillable or refillable. Once you put a hole in it the gel will fall out and the product will be useless.

I wouldn't microwave the entire amount, its best to let it soften at room temp then divide into smaller portions you can use quickly. Keep refrigerated until you need it.

I don't put it in the microwave, I put it on top of a diffuser on the burner (low) and pour the boiling water in, stirring after each increment.However since it's porcelain I believe putting it in the microwave should be fine but for good quality coffee, not so good.Hope that helps, Michele

I no longer have the packaging, but it's plastic, so I would think it could be microwaved. I just use it as a holder, not to cook or heat in.

Do not cook it in microwave, it is pretty bad to heat this kind if plastic. That's why I buy the bag ones, then use my own bowl for it. Don't feed ur kids too much of it, it's real junk food. I like it, but I only eat this couple times a month.

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.

Yikes - pretty sure this would result in a melting pile of plastic/gel. You can keep them cool in the frig and then apply them. If you're looking for heat - use a different product....there's a microwavable or freezer product from Mother Love.

If it has crystalized, yes you have to boil it. Some of mine were crystalized when I first opened the box. Once you've boiled it and the gel inside is liquid again, there is a little metal disk inside that you push to turn the disk inside out. That's what activates it. Best of luck to you! I hope you get more use out of yours than I got out of mine.

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!
