Question Power failure

I anneal my beads in my chili pepper as I make them. I only use one program and at this ti e only have one program in there. They were sitting pretty at the soak temperature when I blew a fuse.
Now, can these beads be salvaged? I really liked them. Can I do a "batch annealing?" (is that the right term?) if so, what would a program for that sort of thing look like? How many degrees/min until soaking temp? After soaking, can they go down at 6 degrees/min until at 600 degrees?
Thanks for your help!

If you don't have anything larger than about 1", I would ramp at 400 degrees per hour, hold for your normal annealing time and also use your normal cooling and you should be fine.
