microwavable dessicant?
    #541497 -

Are there any color indicating brands of microwavable dessicant out there? I have heard of it before, but can only find the kind that you have to pop in the oven. I would appreciate any help I could get.
Thanks
Flatal

I don't know what could have gone wrong with your dessicant.
Are those brand names in the post above? Where could I find them?
Peace

If microwaving, be careful not to burn yourself. The first time my friend tried this in a plastic microwave safe bowl, it got so hot the bowl melted. Safest bet is in the oven on cookie sheets, low temp setting, door open a bit.

Yeah forgot to mention. I use a pyrex glass dish and stirr the desiccant frequently. Plastic will melt as Seuss said.
