Then, using your hands to feel the length of the dowel, check for any remaining wetness. If there is none, remove the clothespins and, in a downward motion, slide the ribbon off the dowel. (Newer dowels will not allow ribbon to slide easily and make take a little more effort to remove, but this will change the more times the dowels are used in the oven.)
