I just hand-washed my Stillwaters and then hung them to dry. 24 hours hanging in the shower didn't get them dry (they quite dripping, at least) so into the dryer they went for about a half-hour. They came out looking OK, so I spent about 20 minutes, each to sharpen them up a bit and generally tidy sthings up. No basting.

I'll be watching this thread, though, as I'm going to have to press my "practice kilt" soon.
