This is what I do - probably learned from urg! - and it works well. I
don't bother with the fan but just leave them to dry in the sieve
overnight and rest the sieve on some paper towel to absorb moisture. So
far, so good.

My dad always just dries his out on kitchen roll, doesn't seem to have
had
any problems with it.

That is what I've just done with my tomato seeds. However, a number of
them tend to stick to the paper and are a bugger to remove without
tearing the paper.

Why bother removing them from the paper...?
Just fold the whole thing up & keep it 'til next planting season -
then simply cut out the little square of paper with the seed attached &
plant it. Simples! g
