1. Spread free-flowing silica gel evenly in a shallow Pyrex dish.
Place silica gel packets in the dish so they do not touch each other.
2.
Place the dish in an oven. You can dry
color-changing silica gel in a 900-watt microwave oven.
The gel is blue when it is dry and pink when it is saturated. You only need dry
it if it is pink.
3. Heat free-flowing silica gel at 300-degrees Fahrenheit for one-and-a-half hours per liter
(About a quart dry measure or 30 ounces by weight).
Heat packets at exactly 245-degrees Fahrenheit for 24 hours.
Use an oven thermometer to ensure the temperature does not go over 300-degrees
for the free-flowing, or over 245-degrees for the packets.
For the color-changing silica gel, heat it at 900 watts in three-minute bursts in the microwave until it turns blue.
