I'm sort of in a quandary as to whether to make some microwave potato bags or not. In a food blog that I follow, Jennie wrote about the potato bags and used them for corn on the cob. She raved about how well they cook, as long as you're only doing a couple ears. I got to thinking how that might be more efficient than heating a big pot of water. I've tried microwaving them before and it didn't work that well for me. Anyway, with the sewing I've been doing I thought it would be a quick and easy thing to whip up with some of my stash. As I looked for patterns, I also found the warnings that go along with them as far as fires. One posting summed it up by saying she didn't want to be responsible for a fire hazard. It seems I'm sucked up into these new and improved ways to do things a little too easily and I need to be careful. I remember a girl at work, years ago, saying that she made corn on the cob in the dishwasher!!! It was great for a big load and cooked them perfectly. After that I saw on TV where someone made salmon in the dishwasher (wrapped in foil). Sounds crazy, I know, but I'm sure the first thought of cooking things in the microwave at record speeds probably raised a few eyebrows.
