Rice may work in some instances, but you&#8217;re much better off using a real desiccant.

In fact, silica gel is used in industrial desiccant driers; just heat the silica gel to remove the moisture and it can be used again and again. Of course, the packs are so cheap on Amazon, it&#8217;s probably not worth the hassle.
