Silica Gel
    #4923569 - 11/11/05 07:30 PM (18 years, 3 months ago)

So this guy on eBay is selling 7 oz of silica for 10 dollars.
I think it's a good find, Dryrite would be my first choice but this is cheaper.

My question is...can silica gel be tossed in the oven and reused?

yes...yes you can

"Silica gel can adsorb about 40 percent of its weight in moisture and can take the relative humidity in a closed container down to about 40 percent. Once saturated, you can drive the moisture off and reuse silica gel by heating it above 300 degrees F (150 C)."

A box fan will do 95% of the job in about a day... and then $3 worth of damp rid from your local hardware store can make them "cracker dry" in two more.

Fan dry the mushrooms for 24 hours or more. Then take a bunch of rice white or brown, short or long, and bake it in the oven at about 200f for 10 mins to dry it up. Let it cool off and put it in the bottom of a sealable container, put the fan dried shrooms in or on top of the rice, and seal the container. They will be cracker dry in a day or two.

Of course everyone thinks nothing can get done without fancy chemicals and three tear chambers :rolleyes:.

yes rice, or any other dry grain, can hold water up to around 2 times its own weight but, it requires heat to hold that water in (thats why we simmer WBS to fully saturate the seed).

Silica Gel is an anhyrdide which is unstable untill it actually get's an h20 molecule -so it will actually *seek* for h20 and drag them in.

rice will work but for best results silica gel or damprid or etc.
