Does the gas oven have a pilot light or is it too modern and uses a spark igniter? If the oven has a pilot light it is perfect for dehydrating herbs and chilies. Really. I used to use that setup at Planet Zarkon whilst I was resident there. Now days I have a cabinet above my refrigerator which I use (among other things) to rise bread, dry herbs/chilies, and keep my crackers and potato chips nice and crispy after I have opened the container. Works well, it does. Just a couple thoughts. -- ENJOY!!! From Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen Home of YAHOOOOAHHHH Hot Sauce & Hardin Cider ...
