| These plugs are used to prevent rust and corrosion in engines while in storage. Contain silica gel which turns from blue to pink when moisture is absorbed. Reusable and refillable. The pink silica gel may be reactivated (after removing from reservoir) by heating for 16 hours at 250°F. This is from the instructions. |

I rejuvenate spark plug dessicant plugs by pouring the silica granules into a muffin pan, then baking at 275 degrees until they turn purple. I keep looking at it, but I think it takes about 20 minutes. The granules turn pink with absorbed moisture, and deep purple/blue when dessicated.

Easy to do, as others have noted. Oven low, just give them enough time to turn back to purple or blue. Mine took a couple of hours I think. I spent more time baking my desiccant plugs during my project than baking anything to eat [emoji849]
P.S. Having a second set of plugs is handy for this reason!
