Directions. Soak the rice in a container that holds at least twice the volume of rice: Cover the rice with 2 to 3 inches of room-temperature water and soak for 6 to 24 hours. If you need to shorten the soaking time, soak the rice in warm (about 100 degree) water for 2 hours.
Quick Answer. Dry basil in an oven by washing the basil, drying it thoroughly in a salad spinner and placing the leaves in a single layer on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Place the basil in the top rack of the oven at the lowest temperature setting for up to four hours.
Lower the oven temperature to 150ÂºF (65.5ÂºC). Place the cranberries in the oven and wait. The drying process can take between six and ten hours, depending on the strength of your oven and the dryness of the cranberries. It also depends on if you prefer your cranberries dry or crunchy. If you want them chewier, take them out at around six hours.
