Method

Wash strawberries gently, handling them as little as possible. Place, stem-side down, on paper towels in a straight-sided container. (This allows berries to dry and prevents tops from curling.) Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready for dipping.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Bring strawberries to room temperature, and make sure they are completely dry.
