work that well any more.

I spread a light layer of leaves on a folded paper towel and give it 2 
minutes at high.
If it still feels a bit limp I give it another half minute. I have tried 
larger bunches but
they don't come out so well. This way the leaves just drop right off with a 
good tap,
but if I have several layers the leaves stick to the stems and are harder to 
separate.
One thing to watch out for I learned the hard way. The paper towel underlay 
was 
a bit larger than the turntable and it shifted a bit so that it hung up 
against the side
and didn't turn. I didn't notice until it burst into flames. No real harm 
done, but 
it could have been a problem if I had not been right there. So now I am sure 
to keep
the paper smaller than the turntable.

How long to you "cook" it in the microwave. I'm sure 
mine would love some. I buy baby socks for stuffing with dried catnip, and 
they work great. I just throw them away (or wash them in the washing 
machine) 
when they get dirty. I found a small juice glass is just the right size for 
filling the socks. I put one of the socks inside the glass then fold the 
top back over the outside of the glass and pour in some catnip. I leave 
enough 
sock to tie a knot in the top
