I need an effective way to dry our decanters, they are Baccarat crystal and I do not want people shoving rolled up towels down them, risking breaking them. One of my wine merchants suggested using a blow drier, but I am looking for a wick dryer or something similar. Does anyone have a direction I need to go to find such a device, help. I do not want to put them on the little stands upside down.

It is good to be a BBQ Judge.  And now it is even gooder to be a Steak Cookoff Association Judge.  Life just got even better.  Woo Hoo!!!

Post-rinsing, swirl some rubbing alcohol around the inside and dump the rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will dissolve the water and due to its lower viscosity, you can dump more of the alcohol-water solution out. Then, the remaining alcohol-water droplets will also dry faster due to their lower vapor pressure (i.e. boiling point)

I always attempt to have the ratio of my intelligence to weight ratio be greater than one. But, I am from the midwest. I am sure you can now understand my life's conundrum.

This has to be the most useful EG post ever!

Thanks, I will give it a try. And to think I thought I hated science in High School, culinary is all about science. Love it.
