Saw someone mention this on a woodworking forum once. The idea was that the heat dries out the surface fibers really fast, which makes them stand up. Might work but you gotta be careful not to cook one spot for too long. Letting it cool completely before sanding seemed to be the key step.

Sounds like a great way to warp the wood instead.

How long before that warping starts, hey @josephmartin?
