Hey all,
I've searched through the forum but still not sure if I'm doing this right.. I picked up bunch of pods from the plants this weekend and am now attempting to dry them out in the oven.. i have habs, some thais and some purple tigers currently sitting in my half size oven (oven is one and a half)... so anyways, they're on a sheet of baking paper, on a tray in at a fan forced bake at 45C... they've been in there a couple of hours...
first off.. should i crack the door open a bit? the oven does push the air out through a vent so i wasnt sure...
second... is my temp about right? too high? too low? i can go down as low as 30C
third.. i'm now cooking a roast in the top part of the oven.. as its all digital, i'm assuming the thermostat will regulate the temp in the bottom to keep it a consistent 45C - do you think this will screw things up too much or should i turn off the bottom oven whilst dinner is cooking?
sorry to be such a pain... i just dont want to waste all these pods... I cut the big ones in half and sliced the med sized ones.. all the stems have been removed..
any idea how long i need to keep the oven running? i can run it overnight if need be...
thanks!
Mel
