It's a bit complicated. I use my toaster oven, on a lower temp for a
longer period of time. (took about 6 batches to figure out the time &
temp for my toaster oven) I think I figured it out somewhere around 325
for 15 minutes (or something like that) They have to be non-browned &
still in the puffy stage (but not completely raw). I line the pan with
foil. Since they are slightly undercooked, they are hard to scrape off
the pan/foil, so I let them cool on the foil on a rack, then I can just
peel them off carefully when cooled. They are great first cooked, but
the next day have to be nuked for 15 seconds in order to get the
softness back.
