QuestionWhy is it that microwave-dried dill won't last as long as air-dried dill?MicheleTop AnswererMicrowave drying is imprecise at best. Air- or oven-drying works better, especially for delicate herbs like dill. And dill being so delicate, before it has a chance to dry out in the microwave, it may cook. This releases different chemicals, which may speed spoilage.
