The Cozy House

Happenings in our little house on the prairie

Have you seen the bags that are for baking potatoes in the microwave?  They look something like this:

Sunflower and Ivy Tater Baker Bag for Microwave

We had one at our house.  I loved my baked potato bag.  (Notice that I am using the past tense!)  The cozy house almost got a lot cozier recently.

I was baking a casserole in the oven for supper one night, and thought that I’d microwave some potoatoes using my baked potato bag, which I’ve done many times before.  No big deal.  So I wrapped them in paper towels and put them in the bag and set the microwave for 8 minutes, all per the instructions that came with the bag. 

8 minutes later, microwave beeped to tell me the potatos were done.  And when I opened the microwave, imagine my surprise when flames lept out at me!  The bag was on fire!  Eeks!  Flames!  What to do?  So I grabbed a cup of water…and then another…and threw it in the microwave (which was still plugged in…)  And this is all that is left of my beloved baked potato bag.

What a sad day at the cozy house.  I am just glad we still have a cozy house. :)

    You know you can bake potatoes in the microwave without a bag, right? :-)
