Hi
After my accident a while back, I got a wheat bag - it was brill but when we moved, we realised that apart from heating up beans, this was the only other reason we ever used a microwave. We got rid and I missed it for ages [the wheat bag, not the microwave itself]. I'm over it now.

If you do get any positive responses, I'll be interested to know. I couldn't think of any other way of heating it up without burning it. Sorry.

Would it work in a slow cooker? Pop it in about tea time, warm teddy for bed.

If the heat aspect is only required in winter - you could try hanging it over a radiator to warm up.

Won't be as long lasting as a blast from a microwave but may just be enough for her to have a cuddle and drp off to sleep.

Low-ish temperature oven? Hot water bottle? Infra-red lamp? ASM? (Adoring Spouse Massage )

Edit: Sorry that was @ zazen999, although the oven might work for "[/i]daughter got a cuddly teddy[/i]", I have seen some advertised as being "for oven" rather than just "for microwave".

Would have thought that the oven on the lowest possible warming heat would be fine. Could also use the airing cupboard if you have one etc etc.
