Reactivating TEYOON Silica Gel Packets isn't too tricky, especially since they can handle being microwaved.
The manufacturer says you can use either a microwave or an oven to get them back in action, which is pretty handy because it means you can keep reusing them.
Here's the basic idea: these packets are filled with silica beads that show you when they're done soaking up moisture by changing color from orange to dark green. When you see that color shift, it's time to recharge them.
If you're going the microwave route, set it to medium heat. The exact time can vary, so it’ll depend on your microwave's wattage, but medium heat's the way to go. Our research suggests that many folks find this works well to get them absorbing moisture again.
Just be careful not to overdo it. Too much time in the microwave, especially at high power, can mess up the beads—they might even melt or burn, which wouldn't be great for either the packets or your microwave.
So, it's safer to start with shorter bursts and increase the time if needed.
Plus, these packets are food-grade, so they're safe to stash around food. That makes them a solid choice for your kitchen or pantry.
Follow the recommended steps, and you should find TEYOON Silica Gel Packets pretty straightforward to maintain, keeping moisture at bay without much fuss.
