Caryl Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Depends on what sort you have. Some heat up when the crystals inside are broken and I don't think they are particularly re-useable. Others, as said, go in the microwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Depends what type of heatpad as has been said. If it's one of clothy type with powdery stuff inside then they're not reusable. You heat it up by opening it and the oxygen starts reacting with the powder inside. Reusable liquid filled ones with the little snap disk you put in boiling water until they turn clear. The bags of wheat or whatever ones, you just nuke until they're hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paekakboyz Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 those 'expose to the air' ones have powered iron oxide (or iron something) in them that heats up... def wouldn't want to put one of those in the microwave!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 The sort I buy you just take them out of the plastic and shake them until they are warm then put them in the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
