[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 341225, member: 3907"] I think it's because there is a point where the item gets sufficiently hot for all the water in it to evaporate. I further think that this is shortly before the item's flashpoint. I did occasionally notice a very mild burnt smell when I dried my laundry. Once I had the flaming bra incident, I didn't really experiment any further with this, so I'm not 100% sure. There is information available about "dangerous things you can try in your microwave", but I hesitate to provide any further details because it's not exactly stuff that people should be trying and I don't want to encourage the spread. From a scientific standpoint though, I'd be interested to find out exactly where the border lies between getting something dry and setting it on fire. [/QUOTE]
