This adapter is 13 Amp and 250 V, which means it can support a load of as much as 3250 Watts. And it has a fuse in it so in case of short circuit it won't burn nor melt. You can plug any two-pin plug to this adapter, grounded or not. OSHTRACO is a reliable brand.
In general, an adapter will melt or burn if the wattage of the plugged appliance exceeds the adapter's wattage. To find out the wattage of an adapter multiply its ampere rating and its voltage. The result is the wattage. So, a 3-Amp and 250-V adapter has a wattage of 750 (3x250). You can't plug to this any electrical item with a wattage higher than 750 otherwise it will melt. You will find amperage and voltage ratings always engraved on the adapter. Look for them.
Your dryer plugged directly to the socket will work perfectly. But if it has short circuit you could get electrocuted if you touched it. The adapter above should be more than able to handle it.
This is the grounded adapter I was referring to.
