Post by: henz on Fri, 28 August 2015, 05:11:00

i went out from my home, started pedaling to work on my bike. Halfway there i got hit with a bucket of water from the sky. Almost no clouds at all. Now im fregging soaked, have no extra clothes and at work. Im thinking of microing my shirt in the microowen. Anyone tried that before?

If it's 100% cotton, I think it will be fine for short microwaving sessions. As long as there's no printed designs or synthetic fiber materials. Make sure the microwave is clean too!

Haven't tried it myself but I'm suspecting that since it is a sealed area evaporation won't be ideal. Dryers have exhausts. Maybe you should try to transfer the humidity to some other item. Put a dry towel in or something and put both out periodically so they can evaporate a lil bit of the moisture out of the microwave. And change the items where you are transferring moisture to every couple of mins. Be careful, all this sounds like a hazardous operation.

There is still time. PUT SOMETHING IN THE MICROWAVE THAT ISN'T FOOD.
