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

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). Hugs, Ruth

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. CJ

How long do you microwave a rice pack?
