Hi

OH has managed to destroy my wheatbag in the microwave. Just a warning to others not to exceed the 2 minute time zone! He thought it wouldn't hurt to put it on another 30 seconds. Result: red hot wheat and a mini explosion in my microwave. This is why he only has limited visitation rights in the kitchen.

Anyway, he owes me a new wheatbag! :lol::lol:

    Hi Sharmaine,
    that's a nuisance. Do you put a small container of water in the microwave too, whilst doing the heating ... ?

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    My dog bit into my ice pack and dragged it along the lounge carpet, trailing blue gel behind him!

    Hi Sharmaine,

    I always dampen my wheatbag before microwaving .......I only know that because that's what the instructions said. :|

    Hi is much safer to put wheatiebag in microwave with cup of water - stops it overheating/burning and maybe prevents explosions!!

    Both my dog and the carpet were ok. He didn't actually eat any and it wiped up easily. It was quite funny though! :P

    Hi everyone

    Thanks for the safety tips! Will certainly use water or dampen the wheatbag in future.

    Hi....I didnt realise about the cup of water either....I'll remember that. my OH burned my wheatbag as well and now every time it goes into the micro there is the most awful smell of burnt lavender.....I must get round to buying another one
