MMMM...Bacon and potato chips all in a matter of minutes.... :)

But I must remember to use clean socks......

The socks are only for the rice pudding.

On a cold winters morning I zap my underwear in the microwave for 20 seconds

Oh what a feeling!

I always do that with my heat pack ... a good tip indeed.

If your potato chips (crisps) are stale they can be "freshened" with a 30 microwave burst.

It's possible to cook your heat pack for up to two minutes if you add a very small container of water in the microwave at the same time

The heat packs are a lot easier than a hot water bottle.
