Here are 5 quick tips for maximising the benefits of your microwave wheat bag, ensuring your safety and prolonging the lifespan of your product.
#1 Read Instructions for Your Microwave Wheat Bag
Always read the heating instructions carefully before use, as they may vary between products. It's crucial to avoid overheating the wheat bag, as this could lead to serious injuries. Ensure you do not reheat the product before it has cooled back down to room temperature.
#2 Add a Cup of Water in Microwave
Place a small glass of water in the microwave alongside your wheat bag. This step helps maintain the wheat's natural moisture, ensuring safer and more effective heat distribution and reducing the risk of charring. You must check the instructions to see whether this is recommended for your specific product first.
#3 Check Microwave Turntable Rotates Freely
Ensure that the microwave turntable is functioning correctly when the wheat bag is placed on top, to guarantee that it rotates freely. This is crucial for even heat distribution. It is important not to leave the wheat bag unattended whilst it is heating.
#4 Leave Microwave Wheat Bag on Surface to Cool
After use, let your wheat bag cool completely on a heat-resistant surface, like a kitchen worktop or draining board. Then, store it in a cupboard or other dry place away from direct sunlight.
#5 Add Essential Oils to Microwave Wheat Bag
The fragrance in most wheat bags, such as lavender, naturally diminishes over time. If your wheat bag is still in good condition, you can refresh the scent. After heating, add a few drops of essential oil, like lavender, rosemary, or peppermint, depending on your preference. Rosemary can be soothing, while peppermint might invigorate.
