Can you dry pants in the microwave?

Given the cold mornings we're having at the moment, is this possible and does it feel warm and snug?

Obviously not on full power or you'll probably scald your giblets but has anyone tried it?

I prefer the oven. It has a dry heat and makes them toastier.

Why don't you try and let us know?

The upper left oven in Aga's were designed for this purpose

Not got a tumble dryer? 30 secs in there does the trick.

Surely you can just put a pair the night before on the radiator and when your heating comes on in the morning it'll heat your tighty whiteys?

Make sure you don't have metal plated underwear.

I think it would work, because you are just boiling the water out of them. However, there could be an issue with some materials melting or catching fire at the temperatures involved. I reckon Cotton boxers would work, but stuff with polyester or other manmades might start to melt.

Problem is we have strange heaters in the flats so you cant put clothes on them.

Those days that I wake up and the pants are still on the clothes horse and slightly damp

No drier either.

Oven idea sounds good. Could set it to 150 degrees and jump in the shower? Or is that too hot?

Nothing worse than wearing damp underwear in the car t b h

Hmmm never thought of that.

ROFL whatever does it for you I suppose :eek:

no - you can set fabric on fire if you leave them too long in a microwave, so its a really stupid idea. An oven is more sensible.

Biohazard · 16 Jan 2008 at 16:47

Or a drying line?

Totality · 16 Jan 2008 at 16:47

So is 150 degrees for say 10 mins ok?

I suggest purchasing a second pair of underpants

romperstomper · 16 Jan 2008 at 16:51

I have my heating on 24 hours so mine are warm where ever I leave them ,but previous to this I use to leave my cloths in the airing cupboard nice and warm

ojste · 16 Jan 2008 at 16:51

buy a foldable clothes rack? they will dry in half a day, and definitely be dry if you leave them overnight :/

edit- im trying to actually imagine what you do with them right now, do you just chuck em in a draw while all your clothes are still damp?!
