TERRIBLE PLAN
Can I dry socks in the oven?
Sure, if you want crispy socks and a fire alarm symphony.
Drying socks in the oven is a terrible idea unless you enjoy burnt laundry smells and possibly setting off your smoke detector. Ovens are not designed for drying fabrics; they can cause damage to your socks and even start a fire, especially if left unattended. Stick to a clothesline or dryer, both designed for the job.
Using an oven to dry clothes risks fire; never leave fabric unattended inside an oven.
