i just put them under the broiler for 5 mins. watch them closely. i let them cool for 5 mins then macked them down. i used "santa berry" bud and it actually tastes good. i have never eaten good tasting pot before.Looks like i will try it tom. So fdd you just stuck them in the oven and they did not get messy? I might go with wrapping it, but i hate foil. Thanks for the info. How was the taste.
