I use paper towel in plastic containers (butter/Ice cream) with the lid on to keep the moisture in. As long as you're not doing hundreds of seeds it works well. I then put the germinated seed in a pot of their own or straight in the ground. I generally use this method for toms, peppers, cucubits, legumes, sweet corn and even brassicas. Like I said, its a lot of faffing around if you have loads of seeds.
