I have a 10x12 Softouch Hot/Cold pack. It is pretty obvious how to make it cold but I dont see any instuctions on how to make it hot. What are the recommendations for microwave useThank you.

Answer

Heating Instructions:
Based on initial pack temperature below 75F (24C).

Knead after each heating. Microwave ovens vary; use care when heating and removing pack from microwave. Overheating pack may cause pack to rupture and/or leak. Carefully check the pack with the palm of your hand before applying. Discard pack if punctured or broken.

Heat 30 seconds on high heat, knead, and then continue heating at 10 second intervals until desired temperature is reached. Knead after each heating.
