we have always used the oven. Never thought about trying a microwave.

Don't know about the microwave thing, but the dessicant packs that I have in my safe have instructions to heat at 350 for 3 hours - my wife would not be a happy camper if I tied the oven up for 16 hours re-activating dessicant.

Microwave ovens work by heating water. The water content in the silica would quickly flash into steam, causing lots of tiny explosions in the silica crystals.
The oven is used because it applies a low, even temperature over a period of time. Kind of the same reason why you can't "dehydrade" food "faster" in the oven. -Troy |

Has anyone figured out how NOT to destroy the bags in the oven? Everytime I try to use the oven, at the set temp, the bags break.

I have never had them split open on me. And we have some we have cooked 4 of 5 times.
