Just in time before the big snow? Does nuking the herbs drive off the essential oils? Hey, Tom. This method is most effective for herbs with lower oil content: PJ used all low-oil herbs. The microwave agitates the water molecules in the leaves and causes them to evaporate through the pores. Herbs like rosemary and thyme, which have more oil, don't work as well; the oil is a more effective heat conductor and "cooks" the leaves. Susan
