I normally put mine in for about 5 minutes. But not knowing your microwave I would try 3 minutes and check it, then add two more 1 minute increments checking inbetween. If it starts to puff up TAKE IT OUT! They will pop! But as long as you watch them you should be fine :)

One to two minutes on high in my microwave. The dot in the center turns black.

No more than two minutes. It of course depends on the wattage of the microwave, but 2 minutes is a good rule. I think you will enjoy using them. I always keep one in the frig also.

i rarely microwave food, but I did tonight and the plate didn't seem overly hot. I did run an experiment, though, with a cup of water. The cup got pretty hot, but the handle was just warm. The water was in the microwave for 2 minutes and very hot and steamy. I usually just run it for 1:30 minutes. The cup would have been too hot on the lips. with this experiment. I hope this helps.

I probably wouldn't. I heat mine in the microwave and haven't had any problems.

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 have put if in the microwave to warm the water within. 37 seconds without the lid seems to be sufficient for warm but not hot. I'm assuming it might melt if you kept it in too long.

I tried using the Gel Pack as a heat pack. However, like most large packages, ours didn't heat evenly in our 1200 watt microwave. The outside gets hot before the inside gets warm. We gave up. We use a Hot Water Bottle for heat pack and the Gel Pack for cold pack.

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.

yes, you can put hot food on it. You heat the pack in the microwave and then I put it in my carrier. The hot pack and my food stayed warm (not hot) for more than 8 hrs.

Hi, McDavid:2 sets of instructions, for heating, are printed on the packs.On Stove: - Bring water to a boil in a pan. Remove pan from heat. Place pack in water 8-10 minutes. Remove and use. ** Then a common instruction (see below). By Microwave: Cover pack with water in a microwave safe dish. Heat for 2 minutes. Do not overheat. ** Then a common instruction (see below). ** Common instruction to all methods: Do not apply pack directly to skin. Wrap pack in cloth (or use the brace that the pack slips into, if you purchased it).Hope this helps. Thanks.

If you mean hot, a couple of hours. Life of the pack is dependent on how many times you heat it up.

That might depend on how long you're going leave it in the microwave. It does not get hot after 2-3 minutes though.

I usually microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds with that size. As the pack gets older, I increase the time a bit. The most I've ever used was 2 minutes, but that was with a really old one.

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. I wouldn't put it in the microwave for long, if you do, but I do put warm drinks in mine.

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