I’m sure most of you have — I am usually very behind on trends! I received a similar pouch to those pictured below from a co-worker for Christmas, and it works great. The pouches are used for baking potatoes in the microwave with fluffy, “oven-baked” results.
The pattern linked below is a very quick sewing project — but you do need to use 100% cotton batt (I found it at JoAnn’s and I am sure most quilt shops carry it). I made a few for my family and friends and thought I would share the information:
These make great potatoes and great gifts. 🙂
PS: My dad tried his and it really worked!
I have never heard of this and it seems almost too good to be true! Thanks for posting about it, and thanks for the link to the tutorial!

I have one of these – received as a gift (she bought it at a craft fair). They are fabulous and they really *are* like a regular, oven-baked potato! 🙂 Thanks for the tutorial, mine is starting to wear out and I wasn’t sure where to get another.

I’ve never seen these before. I downloaded the pattern to make one and give it a try. Thank you for the info.

All the grown girls and women in my family received these as a Christmas gift this year, too! I’ve not yet tried mine. It just seems so odd to me to put food in a fabric bag to cook it. I feel more confident now to go ahead and give it a go! Thanks.
