I just bought a nice calico print rice pack at a yard sale, my sweetie has a sore back and I have no clue how long to put this in the microwave for I shoulda asked the lady at the yard sale. DUH!

Thanks in advance for the answer to this. Probably everyone on earth knows but me

Hey Annika,
Like they say it depends on the size. I have one that is about 8x13 and I heat it for 3 min. But also have one that is quite a bit smaller that I heat for 2 min.

Connie, you could probably use blackeyed peas as long as they are dry. My first two bags had northern beans in them . . . I used them a lot but after a while the beans get an icky odor to them. I prefer the rice.

Could you use dried blackeyed peas for a filling rather than rice?

I wa srecently given a corn pack, same idea as the rice and I love it. It is about 4x10 inches and I heat it for 2 minutes. Works like a charm!

I have made and given away many rice bags - we usually set the micro for about 2 1/2 minutes. I love the heat they give - so much better than a traditional heating pad (in my opinion anyway).

it depends on the size- start at about 1-2 minutes and go up from there
