Can you dry bay leaves in the microwave?

Lay them on a gauze or cloth surface, not in sunlight, have a movement of air over them preferably in a wooden frame enclosed with gauze try not to let them touch each other, if you use any form of heat you may remove the essential oils. hang a part of the plant upsidedown, when harvesting, (NEVER more than 1/2 of wat u c) leave out of direct sunlight. in a few days they should be dry.
