I didn't find this in the article, so:

You can "recharge" silical gel by baking in the oven at 120 C for a couple of hours. If you do, be careful to remove the casing before you do, unless it is heat safe.

I have a small collection of oven safe dessicant packs that I keep on hand for emergency drying electronics.

You can just microwave them too, on low power. It's much, much faster and power efficient.

This is what I do to dry 3D printer filament silicagel. Handling all those small beads without spilling some is finicky, but works good enough.
