I have a toaster oven with a " warm " setting...you might want to invest

(~$30). I prop the door open very slightly to allow some of the moisture to

escape so it doesn't take quite so long (overnight does it if I have the

door ajar).

crispy nuts and seeds temps

My oven will only go as low as 170 when on and only as high as 115-120

with just the light. What is the reason for drying the nuts and seeds

no hotter than 150? Is it an enzyme thing? Is soaking and drying at

170 alright? Any insight would be greatly appreciated- I have organic

raw pepitas and would like to prepare them. Would I be better off at

120 over 170?
