The eyes generally just explode. /jk No, they don't get hot because they don't contain any moisture.

I should put a caveat in here: if your stuffed animal says to remove the bag and microwave it separately, remove the bag and microwave it separately. Also, don't put a stuffed animal in the air fryer.

Just to add on a clarifying detail: microwaves can heat things that aren't water, they just usually don't do so nearly as well. So while this sloth might have eyes that don't get hot, a different one might have them cheerfully get insanely hot very fast.

The trick is to cover the eyes and entire head with aluminum foil, then soak the animal in kerosine before making your child watch you microwave it.

Ah, I was thinking you'd want it to ignite in the child's hands to really maximize the lifelong trauma and deep seated trust issues.

This is a much better plan, but how do you ensure the delayed ignition? Some kind of det cord? Or a chemical catalyst?
