Microwave Bowl Holders

| Microwave bowl holders October 2016 |
I used Sheri's machine that was totally unfamiliar to me, so we had to stop the clock for a bit to address some technical problems (empty bobbin, broken needle, etc.) I managed to complete my bowl holder in the time allotted.

If you aren't familiar with cloth microwave bowl holders, they hold a bowl as its contents is being heated in the microwave. The edge or wings on the cloth bowl holder are used to lift the bowl safely out of the microwave. Sheri and I used this pattern.
When I got home, I looked for a pattern that did not require binding and found a free square pattern that can be made to fit a variety of bowl sizes. It was easy to make, and I like the wide wings for lifting. I used the remainder of the Asian fabric to make one for Marilyn, Brenda, Sue, and myself.

No, I have a small pair of pot holders close by that I use and also if I am using a paper bowl I just use several and then put the clean ones back.
ReplyDeleteI saw these last year in Yuma... We don't have a microwave any more.... but they are a good idea!!
ReplyDeleteClever idea...and yours are so colorful. I don't really use our microwave very much, but my husband uses it ALL the time. However, he also fills bowls, cups, etc. to the very top...then heats everything on high for incredible amounts of time (read burn your mouth) so that it all at some point spills over the top. I'd be constantly washing these....
ReplyDeleteYes we do have them and we use tham all the time. Have also made and given many away. Actually ours are rather tired, time for some new ones.
ReplyDeleteNEver heard of them! Cool
ReplyDeleteNo we don't but sometimes I use potholders. This is a wonderful idea:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you Nancy!! I think you just finished my me-made Christmas gifts. I will pop over and order the pattern now. I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the bowl holder. Bert has found it to be very handy for when he zaps soup.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of such a thing. It's a VERY good idea.
ReplyDeleteNice looking but we don't tend to heat soup in the microwave. I've seen these before and would have made some if I did heat in there. Enjoy them.
