My Love for Warmies
I absolutely adore my Warmies! These cozy little creatures have been my faithful companions during many cold winter nights. There’s nothing quite like snuggling up to a warm and comforting plush toy, especially when the weather outside is frightful. However, there have been times when my trusty microwave has decided to give up on me, leaving me in a predicament. How on earth am I supposed to heat up my beloved Warmies without a microwave? Luckily, after some trial and error, I have discovered a few quick and easy alternatives that I’m excited to share with you.

One of the simplest ways to heat up a Warmies without a microwave is by using the boiling method. Here’s how you do it:

- Turn the heat on and let the water come to a rolling boil.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully place your Warmies in a heat-resistant bag and seal it tightly.
- Lower the bag into the boiling water, making sure it is fully submerged.
- Allow your Warmies to heat up for about 10-15 minutes.
- Using tongs or oven mitts, carefully remove the bag from the pot.
- Wait a few minutes for the Warmies to cool down slightly before cuddling up to them.
The Oven Method
If you don’t have a microwave but happen to have an oven, using it to heat up your Warmies can be a great alternative. Just follow these steps:
- Preheat your oven to a low temperature, around 200°F (93°C).
- Place your Warmies in a heat-resistant bag and seal it tightly.
- Put the bag on a baking tray and slide it into the oven.
- Allow your Warmies to heat up for about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the bag from the oven and let it cool down for a few minutes before cuddling up.
The Hot Water Bottle Method
If you don’t have access to a stove or an oven, fret not! A hot water bottle can save the day. Here’s how you can use it to heat up your Warmies:
- Boil water and carefully pour it into a hot water bottle, filling it about two-thirds of the way.
- Place your Warmies in a heat-resistant bag and seal it tightly.
- Wrap the hot water bottle with a cloth to avoid direct contact with your Warmies.
- Place the wrapped hot water bottle on top of your Warmies and allow them to heat up for about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the hot water bottle and let your Warmies cool down before snuggling up.
Take Care of Your Warmies
While these alternative methods may not be as convenient as using a microwave, they are still effective in heating up your Warmies. However, it’s important to note that the heat source should never be directly in contact with the Warmies to prevent any damage. Always use a heat-resistant bag or wrap them with a cloth before applying any heat source.
Additionally, be mindful of the temperature and duration to prevent overheating your Warmies. You want them to be warm and cozy, not scorching hot. Always check the temperature before cuddling up to avoid any burns.
Lastly, make sure to read the instructions that come with your Warmies. They may have specific guidelines on how to heat them up using alternative methods. Following these instructions will ensure that your Warmies stay soft, cuddly, and safe for years to come.
