Microwave Flower Drying
 

How to dry flowers in the microwave..... :wide-eyed

You will need:
A tub of silica gel crystals
A pyrex bowl
Flowers
A microwave

Put a layer of crystals in the pyrex bowl, put some flowers in and cover with more silica gel, cook on high for a minute at a time until dry.

You can get more tips on this at Silicasec and they also sell silica gel crystals.

Sounds like fun! :D

right well don't make me go DOH ... but are those little sachets you get in shoe boxes etc (that absorbs moisture ... yeah yeah I know :D) the same ?

think they'd do the trick? ... before I go blowing the microwave up :D lol

Yep, they are the same:yes: - but how many packets do you have?:D It would take quite a few!!!:dizzy: Unless you're planning a shoe shopping spree - in which case count me in! :bouncy: :rotfl:

Wow, that is fantastic. I've never heard of drying flowers in a microwave!

lol .. still haven't tried it, if you have success & it doesn't involve fire engines let us know how it goes :D
