How long do you put socks in the microwave for?

Aod · 16 Oct 2011 at 18:25

Oven/Hairdryer/Grill are all MUCH MUCH MUCH better options.

heck, even putting them on a baking-tray or frying pan and putting that on the stove on a LOW heat would be a better option!

Seem the majority is against microwaving them , but I'll go against the majority and try one pair. I might discover something new

We need pictures of the end result

not sure if serious? Oh my.

I tend to use the grill. Lightly browned on either side. Perfect with some paprika.

I think this is a joke thread.

Nobody with some common sense would need to ask how to dry their clothes?

CaptainRAVE · 16 Oct 2011 at 19:02

Can't say I have ever put clothes to dry in the microwave!

I've put my pants in the microwave before, was desperate times.

It never dried them but made them so hot they dried a hell of a lot quicker!

I've used up my entire supply of socks

Umm, I'm not sure I'll like the answer, but how did you "use up" your socks?

/morbid curiosity

When you think you've seen everything on OcUK, along comes a new level of retarded.

Not sure about "retarted", but there are some random threads on here sometimes!

I'm doing economics, so I'll be sure to ruin your pension first when I'm a hedge fund investor

(jk). Inb4 people like me running the county, no wonder we're screwed etc etc.

The issue isn't how to dry clothes, its how to dry them quickly. My socks are quite a heavy fabric, so they take a while to dry, even inside my cupboard with the hot water tank in it. We don't own an iron, none of guys in our house own a hair drier, the girls are out and I'm too afraid to rummage through their stuff to find a hair drier, boiler isn't practical for drying clothes, heating isn't on so can't use radiator. The problems stack up!

I generally cook my socks for around 20 seconds however underwear take much longer.

Camarilla · 16 Oct 2011 at 20:40

Do it the old fashioned way and make a fire, then roast your socks on a spit.

placeholder · 16 Oct 2011 at 20:41

If you dont have a George Foreman or a toastie maker you may be forced to spend a pound on some new socks.

Sone · 16 Oct 2011 at 20:42

i tried to microwave vests when desperate on a buisness trip once, needless to sau it ruined them. Burnt anywhere that was still damp
