Once I made these, I am wondering how I ever lived without them! These plate cozies are perfect for heating up plates of food in the microwave or just when you are eating hot foods on a plate, it protects your fingers from betting burned. These can also be used as a hot pad or trivet for round dishes, pots or pans.
