I had a lady on Sunday ask me about a bag that you put your potato in then popped it in the microwave. What she is looking for is the use and care - specifically washing - instructions. Anyone remember this product. I have been in this since 2001 and do not remember this. I remember the toaster bags but a potato bag - nope!
 
I have one of these but I bought it from a craft sale, not Pampered Chef. These are just fabric bags that crafters sew together. I just throw it in the wash since it's just fabric. I don't know if PC ever made one.
 
Nope- not a PC item, unless its from 2000 or prior.

Cool. I didn't think it was ours. But I am going to check with some one else. She celebrated 20 years in PC this week! Thanks for the help!

However, I would be happy to help you find the use and care instructions for it. I recommend checking our website or reaching out to our customer service team for more information. In the meantime, I can suggest using our microwave potato cooker which has received great reviews from our customers. It's a simple and easy way to cook potatoes in the microwave without any mess.
