Molino Homemakers: Use A Potato Bag
February 7, 2010
A microwaved baking potato is much better when cooked in a “Potato Bag” — that was the lesson of the day at the February meeting of the Molino Homemakers Club.
The following was submitted by Terri Brown on behalf of the Molino Homemakers Club.
Being a creative homemaker doesn’t require a lot of money but it does require a lot of time and attention. This month the Molino Homemaker’s program was given by Nancy Holland on making “Potato Bags”.
These bags are microwaveable bags made out of 100% cotton material used to cook baking potatoes in the microwave. This material will not burn as the heat of the microwave cooks the potato. The inside of the potatoes will be well done and moist while the outside skin remains tender. The potatoes only need to be washed, dried, wrapped in a paper towel, inserted into the potato bag and microwaved. No pricking! Cooking time will vary depending on the power of your microwave and the number of potatoes you are cooking.
Each bag will hold 1-4 baking potatoes. When done let the potato bag air dry until you’re ready to use it again or machine wash and dry. They are also kid safe.
Of course it would be easy to order a potato bag off the internet but wouldn’t be near as interesting as learning how to make one from a club member. Potato bags sell on the internet between $5 and $12 each.
If you are interested in learning how to make a potato bag, please contact Nancy Holland at (850) 587-5464.
The Molino Homemakers Club meets on the first Wednesday of each month except July at Molino First Assembly of God Church.

Love you Miss Millie! You look great! I will have to try the potato bag. Maybe it would go well with my pot pie…LOL The Molino Homemakers Club is fun. Everyone would love it. I know I sure do, when I can attend! God Bless!
Yes the Potato Bag works great. I have one that was given
to me by a friend from North Carolina.
Yum, yum. Now if they can make a bag that will cook a T-bone and a tater at the same time, get’em done at the same time, and taste great out of a microwave. Now that’s a bag for me.
