Drying Herbs

I purchased a couple of herb packs from Bountiful Baskets this week, and was trying to think of the best and fastest way to dry them.  I have tried drying them in a dehydrator before, but I didn't feel like doing all that work this time, so I thought I would get something to hang them from the ceiling.  I went to Lowe's to see what they had, and couldn't find anything, they suggested I try the local kitchen store (Kitchen Kneads).  I went there, and found they don't carry them either, so I told the clerk what I was looking for, and she suggested a pasta dryer.  I checked it out, and I think it is going to work.  Right now I have all of my herbs drying on that, and I think it will work well, I just need to keep the air circulating so it doesn't get too moist and end up molding.


This is one side of it, and it is just great.  I used butcher's twine to tie the ends together, and then hung them from branches up-side down.  I am pretty excited to see how well it works.


Here is another view of it.
