    Now you've got me worried - one of the recipes I saw said allow it to dry (might take 2-3 days)... so... dry it in a very low oven...?

    Mine is currently still squidgy.

    A couple of days doesn't surprise me :) Mine goes into the bottom of the Rayburn.

    squeaky - is yours in the oven - about gas 1/4 is right :)

    ¼ what?

    Yes, they will have to go in the oven. I was thinking of popping them in after I've cooked something rather than putting it on especially - maybe right at the bottom after letting the oven cool a bit from its cooking temperature.

    Hokay :)

    So according to my trusty be-ro book that'll be gas mark ¼, or 110°C, or 200°F

    Any idea on roughly how long for?

    Um...

    I decided to use my small oven, and put a whole bunch of taters in it to give them a good start as baked ones, plus a few bits of bread to dry for breadcrumbs.

    Then promptly forgot about them! :eek:

    So now I have a whole bunch of beautifully cooked potatoes, some bread "biscuits", and candied peel that is as hard as rowntrees fruit gums. Definitely orangy and very tasty - but by heck they're chewy :)
