    You can buy a large amount of reusable dessicant for cheap. We have these little balls that change color when they’re full of water. Just need to bake em on low for awile then they go back to useable again.

      Careful with the color changing ones. They tend to have not so safe chemicals in them. Even if you’re not using them with food or similar, if you “recharge” them in your stove/microwave you can be releasing some unfun stuff into areas meant for food.

      Thank you for the advise! For me it’s not so much that I need them here and now. It’s more a matter of lessening the waste that comes with packages when we buy something new for the home. I don’t have a lot of these little packets, but I save them in case I need them and to dimish my carbon footprint by a smidge. It’s not much, but I still think it counts for something.

      Would a toaster or air fryer work? We don’t have a oven at home

      Edit: Saw the instructions on a Wisedry packet online- a Microwave Oven works too
