How do I heat up a wheat bag without a microwave

[amcec33]

Our microwave has now gone and the only thing I'm not sure how to do on the stove is to heat up a wheat bag. Can anyone help with that?

Thanks

I'd like to know also. Most of my doula clients have a micro so not an issue. Maybe in oven with a bowl of water beside it to avoid scorching?


Ease exhaust any typos, set from my itouch.

Maybe try heating up a heavy pot with a lid (not to a super high temp) and then put a dish towel in the bottom of it, wheat bag on top of the towel, then the lid on?

I saw a similar thread somewhere where a doula uses her crockpot to keep her rice bags warm for clients.

The bag I bought came with instructions for heating it in a conventional oven. I think you wrap it in aluminum foil and put it in at a low temp.

Yeah that. It still starts smelling a little toasted though! I gave up, and moved on to a hot water bottle. The crockpot is a particular stroke of genius though - must try that!

How about a double boiler?  Boil some water, put a clean, dry bowl over the water and then put the bag in the dry bowl.  Cover and let it heat.
