- Drying herbs in the microwave is a quick hack to preserving your herb garden in record time. No food dehydrator? No problem! Use some paper towels and your microwave!
Where did I learn all of this? I read. I read books, real, honest to God books!

Brilliant. I won't let surplus herb rotten again. Thanks for sharing new idea.
One of the advantages of a flatbed microwave. I shall adapt these tips for my turntable one. Thank you!
I've dried herbs on cookie sheets at lowest oven heat. In addition to getting all the moisture out, it's important to make sure the herbs are completely cooled before sealing the jar, as condensation will re-introduce moisture.
Love all your videos you're so passionate about everything you teach us thanks for sharing learn something new from you with every video.
This is an awesome tip. Thanks.
When I have heaps of excess herbs, I dry mine in the greenhouse in summer in the hot Australian sun. It works really well, and i have heaps of different ones together in a container even chili.
Thank you for sharing.

I was going to buy an expensive dehydrator--I like this a lot better for herbs.
Great idea. Thank you. Microwave, check, paper towels, check, empty jars, check, lots of herbs to save...check and check!
The microwaves ovens take a heavy toll on the volatile essential oils and energy level. Better not to be employed for nutritional purpose.
Andrea Carlo Franzosi what do you mean energy level? This isn’t a video game
Yeah. I put my mint leaves in the microwave, and afterwards they read 0 on my battery tester.
@@Omegapork lmao! What a beautiful response to a UA-cam "Scientist"
Thanks for the giggles
Dont resuse paper towels or plates you will have a fire. Let your microwave cool off in between. Do only 30sec at a time. They will continue to dry out of the microwave for 7min.
Haven’t seen your videos for awhile . You look fabulous
Deborah Jiggens Yeah nevermind the oregano! That's not the overgrowth problem area!! LOL
What do you think about the flavor of dried herbs compared to fresh ones? The ones I buy dried lack the flavor of the fresh ones, except for oregano.
warsaw11000 I agree. That's why I like to make my own! Dried herbs are better done yourself!
What about tomatoes? Oven method too long and too much consumption of gas/electricity
s truth No. Won't work. Tomatoes are too wet and would just boil on the paper towels. I'm only getting away with this because of the tiny amount of water in the leaves.
Better Done Yourself yes thought so! Thank you anyways for the herbs procedure
Do you sell your t shirts?
Yes, the link is just below the video.
Better Done Yourself sorry, but still cannot find the link.

Microwave kills it.
Ronald Evers Please define "it".
It’s dead once you pick it
I like dried in sun and burnt as inscence I mean Indians..
Don’t listen to these folks in the comments, there’s nothing wrong with the microwave
fionna pillow magnetism is poisonous!
Soooo we get irradiated herbs to enjoy all winter. Yum and nutritious too. Not.
I love your videos. I just don’t understand how a guy such as yourself makes all of these wonderful videos all about living nutritious foods and then this one where you kill the goodness in the plant.
Because I'm not afraid of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields. I'm just looking to quickly preserve the flavors in the herbs. For nutrition, I rely on copious amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables, not tiny leaves.
Love your other healthy ways to pickle and preserve foods but I wouldn't recommend using radiation to dry your beautiful herbs
Radiation comes in many forms. Sunlight is radiation. Warmth from your fireplace is radiation. I'm not too excited about the microwave.
These radiations just excite the molecules inside the herbs, making them hot and enabling the moisture to get extracted.
It's not dangerous, never has been and never will be.
Right on!
@@BetterDoneYourself Cheers sir, love your videos. Keep up the fermentation!
Not safe, not worth it.

Why? Why "dry" healing herbs in a radiation machine when you could use one of the many old ways like drying in the sun, on a line or even In the oven if not a dehydrator?
Let me tell you, the best way to dry herbs quick is to "hot bowl" which is a bowl on a saucepan with a small amount of water boiling in the bottom, like impatient hipppies do.
