    Why damp?

      It makes it much easier for it to stay in place. Mainly from the spinning, but if your food explodes a damp towel stays put way easier than a dry one.

      Probably to prevent it from burning and to make it heavy enough to stay in place.

        Unless you really really really go nuts with way too much time on timer, a dry paper towel is not going to ignite in your microwave.

      It helps hydrate the food. Helps out with rice in particular
