what you need. To dry herbs or flowers in the microwave oven instantly
you will need SILICA
GEL. Silica gel is a substance used to dry delicate flowers too,
such as roses or calendula, as it preserves their forms and colors well.
Silica gel can usually be found in craft stores. It is very simple to dry
flowers with a silica crystals, just use microwave safe container with
a 1" (2,5 cm) thick layer of the silica crystals and place your flowers
on the top allowing about 1-inch of space around the sides and between
each flowers. Put another 1-inch layer on the top of flowers and then microwave
on cca 50 % power for approximately 2-3 minutes, depending on the type
of your microwave and flowers. It is better to check the material progress
an add some more times if needed. Flowers and leaves often have different
drying times, microwave them separately for better result.
