Alton Brown has an easy solution: use your microwave to perfectly toast them instead.
Youll need pine nuts (obviously), salt, and a small paper bag.
Toss the pine nuts with 1 teaspoon of salt.
Dont worry, extra salt will be easy to brush off after toasting.
Allow the pine nuts to sit for a minute before you taste them.
If you find them to be undercooked, keep zapping them in thirty second increments until theyre done.
