Ebbie..(and anyone who's curious) here's our collection of rice-filled warmers/ The cute ones were gifts....the socks are my creation.

I used them recently after removing the plastic sheeting of ice from our car.

Been chipping at the ice in our drive for 3 days now. It's not real thick, but sure was hard and slippery!


BTW-- a moderate size sock gets maybe 1 1/2 to 2 min in microwave. Err in side of caution until you get it calibrated.
