    I don't have spice jars but am thinking I could double up a ziplock snack bag to store in?

    Can I do this in multiple layers? I'm planning to stock for at least six months.

    • @howdini
      @howdini  Před 8 lety

      +Soft@♥ Unfortunately, this method only works if the herbs are laid out in a single layer on the paper towels. Otherwise, overlapping will cause the herbs to steam and cook vs. having the room to allow the water in the leaves to evaporate and dry. But fortunately, each batch doesn't take very long - only one minute, or so! Hope you give it a try and let us know what you think. Thanks for your question!

    • @soft3777
      @soft3777 Před 8 lety

      Hmm. Got it. So kind of you to reply back. I'll go for it. I'll experiment with coriander too, that's my favorite

    Does it loose nutrients?

    • @howdini
      @howdini  Před 8 lety

      +Malaika A. We can't speak to the loss or retention of nutrients, but drying herbs in the microwave does preserve the color and flavor better than other drying methods. Great question! Thanks for watching and commenting!

    It’s a fact that microwave kills any smell in towels if you microwave them. I bet it kills vitamins as well. . .
