It depends on the type you have and the way you cook it If you have a good 20 minutes, you can evaporate it on a plate over a pan of boiling water. If you are in a rush, you can microwave it. Make sure you have a plate above your liquid while you nuke it since the k will pop in the microwave - try using 20 - 30 second cooking intervals until crisp. Remember, the more you cook/evaporate the liq, the less you'll have. slower cooking = better results This is all hearsay of course You can try food flavoring/extracts also for flavor - some people like to eat it and not bump
