But I don't know that beans would hold up to being microwaved repeatedly. Some of the places I read about flax seeds or barley were the ones that said their pack caught on fire or started to smolder in the microwave after lots of use, so I played it safe and went with rice coated with essential oils for moisture. : ) Thanks so much for stoping by!Haley - Ever Never Againhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983077022284112159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487260984217860431.post-9471145802440498752012-11-23T11:40:31.700-07:002012-11-23T11:40:31.700-07:00I love these.

I really enjoyed looking at your blog and will have to spend more time checking it out. I love those van coasters : )<br /><br />As far as keeping the wrap hot, I usually microwave it until it's a little hotter than I want, let it cool off for a minute, and then it stays hot for about 15-20 min. It might stay hot longer if you microwave it with a cup of water because moisture can help hold heat better, maybe your rice is getting too dry? <br />Haley - Ever Never Againhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983077022284112159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487260984217860431.post-22440455019903625572012-11-21T15:31:28.117-07:002012-11-21T15:31:28.117-07:00Love this!
