I've got several pounds of silica desiccant, the stuff that looks like
aquarium gravel. Very hand for keeping crackers crisp in the soggy
Pacific Northwest. I've regenerated it before, but I've lost my notes.
Somebody out there remember what temperature and how long? (ball park is
likely good enough)

Thanks

Jim

250-300 for half an hour or so spread out in a thin layer on a cookie
sheet seems to be ringing a bell in my head.

Key is "Above the boiling point of water, but not so hot you 'burn' it".
Trouble is, I can't find *MY* notes on where it starts getting too hot!
