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".

Sometimes companies brag about things not worth bragging about.

At a shlock store a a few years ago, a radio with "superheterodyne
circuitryf'. Of course all AM radios have had that for maybe 100
years, (except crystal readios.)

Another cheap stereo said, "Direct coupled for high frequency
response". Well yes, when you use fewer and cheaper components than
good brands use, you have to use direct coupling for reasonably high
frequency ressponse, but that doesn't make it good.

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.

Good to know. I'm glad they're bragging about something braggable.
