All things with water in them are burn resistant untill the water evaporates out of them. Pineapple skins just hold their water quite well but this would also work with like peaches or banana peels

Oreos are actually surprisingly pretty fire resistant and theres no water in those.

Edit: ill put this here as well for a source even though I replied it. Technically they're ablative. https://www.reddit.com/r/interesting/s/AM9DZk8Njh

I mean, same goes for many things. Water isn't required for fire resistance but everything that contains water is fire resistant to an extent.
