About a year ago three was a thread here about how to dry out a
camera, or maybe it was a cellphone, that had been underwater.

Rather than take it apart, someone had sealed it in a

plastic bag

with some other material or substance and let it sit for several days.

I can't remember what the other material was, and googling the
keywords I could thinik of didn't find it.

Any suggestion of the keywords used, or of what to use to dry the
camera.

If I'd known I would need this, I woudl have saved it!! Thanks.


rice is the lore. But the oven works faster.

I have a really neat feature on my Whirlpool oven that is for raising
dough. Once set, it runs the convection fan and holds the temperature at
100 degree F. Besides dough, it's great for drying out things and also,
fast defrosting of meat or anything, without edge cooking, like in the
microwave.

Our microwave died and I bought a Panasonic to replace it. The box touted
that it has "inverter technology".

Interestingly enough it actually works. "inverter turbo defrost" doesn't
cook the edges of food and is really fast. And it is higher power and
cooks faster without overcooking the edges of food.

Has nothing to with drying a phone. I have one. Very powerful. They say a
higher than normal failure rate. Does not need the big 60 hz transformer
because it a switching supply. More parts. I love mine.

My little turbo oven has a dryer mode, but is set at 135 degrees. Not good
for phones and it tends to brown veggies if left in too long.
