I once made a nice wheat bag for my mother, and it got accidentally killed by mistake. She has a combi oven-microwave and left the wheat bag in there one day. I didn't realise it was in there and preheated the oven to the highest heat for a baked potato. By the time I found the wheat bag in there, it was thoroughly charred. No fires, thankfully.

I have a rice bag called a rice buddy that I made from a small sock. I heat it in my microwave for 30 seconds so that it isn't really hot. I use it on my neck and top of shoulder area and have for years. It works just great. Microwaves do differ but that's what it takes for mine. No troubles at all.
