Lightly steamed to soften it and make it easier to eat.

I cook mine by putting them in a bit of water and boiling them in the microwave.

I cook mine by just microwaving them. Then I cut them into strips (about the size of a reptomin pellet) then dry them. Sam seems to love them.

I never thought of drying them! Do they float when they're dry? Do you use a food dryer?

I just set them out, and they dry within 2 days. They sink when I put them in.

It works best if after the first day, you "unstick" them from the surface they were drying on.
