Thunderbird Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Really? I've put it on a piece of kitchen roll on top of a rad, is that going to cook it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT13 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I thread mine with a needle and fishing line, through the stalk. Hang them up, like a washing line and let them dry naturally. Pick them when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 If you have a fan oven with a defrost setting, use that, if it has no defrost setting just switch on at lowest heat(50*C max) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sauce Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Needle and thread. Or you could alway freeze'em. What's happening Saturday?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 In the oven with the door open on the lowest gas you have. All you're trying to do is dehydrate them, so if you do hang them, it must be somewhere absolutely bone dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I left a load of them on the window sill... They've dried perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I had some chilli plants in pots in the conservatory - I forgot about them and they died and the chillies fell off.... They dried quite nicely by the time I noticed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I think I'm going to struggle by Saturday now. Will have to strip the seeds avd use the oven defrost setting I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_s Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I've always put them in the oven at 50 degrees maximum and left the door opened and they always turn out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_seagrave Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 If you work in an air-conditioned office, string them up in there. LS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
