Comment on CNC Kitchen – What is the best way to dry your desiccant? (microwave)
huginn@feddit.it 4 weeks agoThe video specifically calls that method out as dangerous and toxic.
Microwave is fastest but you’ve gotta do it at an extremely low power setting and he recommends not using it with a food microwave

The microwave sits in the workshop and is not for cooking food. It’s strictly to do nasty stuff with materials I work with.

Gotcha. The other issue with microwaving it on high settings is they burst releasing a dust of silica and indicating color, neither of which is good to breathe. If you’ve got good ppe and ventilate you should be fine.
It will kill the color changing effect tho
