You may run for the rice if your gadget gets wet. I’ve got an even better option...


Have you ever used the rice trick to rescue a wet gadget?

It’s actually pretty effective and is definitely worth a try. But there is another food that can work even better. Brent Rose from Gizmodo says that Rice Krispies rule. They suck up liquid much faster and more aggressively than uncooked rice. He suggests you grab a fresh box, jam your device in there, and leave it for 48 hours. Rotate the device inside the box every now and then. Resist the urge to test it or turn it on!

Brent says, after 48 hours or so, remove your phone from the Rice Krispies. If you see any sign of moisture still in there, such as fog on the screen, put it back in for more time. If, however, it looks bone dry, put the battery back in, and (hopefully) turn it on.
