Cooking time estimates based on an 1100 watt microwave oven with a turntable. If you do not have a turntable, you will need to turn your bag over at the midpoint of the suggested cook time to prevent scorching. Wash raw vegetables prior to cooking. Drying is not necessary as the extra moisture aids in cooking.
Free 10” Square Potato Bag Pattern
1. Warm Tater and your cotton fabrics do not need to be pre-washed. Once complete you will wash together. Measure the inside dimension of your microwave and adjust the pattern accordingly considering that the finished bag must be at least 1 full inch away from the walls and door of the microwave. CAUTION: If your microwave has a turntable, it is important that your potato bag be allowed to freely rotate or scorching may occur that could lead to fire if left unattended.
2. Cut a 23’ long x 11” wide piece of Warm Tater cotton and 2 pieces of 100% cotton fabric. One is the lining and the other is decorator fabric.
3. Layer the Warm Tater cotton between the two layer of fabric right sides out. Ouilt or tack layers together leaving no more that 5” open.
4. Surge or sew using a zig zag stitch the 3 layers together on all sides.
5. Create finished hems on each of the width ends by folding the fabric to the inside a ½’ and sewing it down using a straight stitch.
6. Fold the fabrics into a 11’ square inside out with the hems centered and overlapping 1”. Pin and sew all sides with a straight stitch and ½” seam allowances.
7. Turn right side out. Machine wash cold water and dry in warm dryer before use. ENJOY! Do not leave microwave unattended while cooking.
