Talmud for Kelim 9:4

סְפוֹג שֶׁבָּלַע מַשְׁקִין טְמֵאִין וְנָגוּב מִבַּחוּץ וְנָפַל לַאֲוִיר הַתַּנּוּר, טָמֵא, שֶׁסּוֹף מַשְׁקֶה לָצֵאת. וְכֵן חֲתִיכָה שֶׁל לֶפֶת וְשֶׁל גֶּמִי. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מְטַהֵר בִּשְׁנֵי אֵלּוּ:

If a sponge absorbed impure liquids and its outer surface became dry, and it fell into the air-space of an oven, the oven is impure, for the liquid would eventually come out. And the same with regard to a piece of turnip or reed grass. Rabbi Shimon declares [the oven] pure in both these cases.
