As above, do any of you recycle by either microwaving or re-heating the silica gel in a conventional oven?

Yes, I do. I stir-fry them with 6" frying pan over the gas stove. Oven and mircowave were out as my mum would scream my head off!

Used to fry the silica gel in the family wok but it left a plasticky smell that I couldn't get rid of. Noticed that such recycled gel usually doesn't last as long as fresh ones from the store. Now I just chuck every equipment into an electric dry cabinet.

Just put them under the sun for a sun bathe, and they will be as good as new.

Thanks for the input anyways
Yes, just place it into the frying pan and stir-fry them. No staining of the pan (using a non-stick pan) and for how long, till it turns to blue again.Originally posted by blizzy
u just place the silica gel onto the pan and dry?
does it err... stain the pan for how long?
Well, the pan isn't used for cooking food. Brought a set of 3 pans of different size, took the 6" and gave the rest to my mum for cooking. My stir-fry pan is kept away from the rest of the pans and woks she have.Originally posted by StreetShooter
I see.... and she does not mind you using the frying pan and stir-fryer which both come into direct contact with the food? Interesting...
