Anyone else use a microwave to dry out a bit of tobacco before smoking?

I intended to set out a bowl's worth that was a bit on the moist side before I went to bed last night. Never got to it and wasn't able to dry it before heading out.
I put some in a paper muffin cup and put in microwave for 15 seconds. Pulled it out and it was starting to steam and the muffin cup was moist on the bottom. Stirred it around and fluffed it up. After a few moments of sitting, it still seemed a bit moist, so I zapped for 10 more seconds. It ended being just about right.. just a bit of dampness, but dry enough to smoke without requiring multiple re-lights and avoiding any moisture problems like gurgling.
