Dry Herbs in Your Microwave to Use Later

Posted at 10:32, 24/08/2008 by efyefy

You don't need a food dehydrator to dry out your herbs—just toss them in the microwave!

From the Weekend Gardener:

First:
Arrange the herbs in a single layer on a paper towel or piece of waxed paper on the floor of the microwave.

Second:
Microwave the herbs on high for 2 minutes, check the herbs, then turn the paper towel or paper.

Third:
Microwave another 2 minutes or until the herbs are crisp and dry.

Fourth:
Store them in a glass jar or sandwich bag, with all the air sucked out, and label them.

Home dried herbs can last very well for up to a year or more before they start to loose their oils and flavor. Keep them in a dark, cool place to keep them fresh.
