Chuck it in the Microwave for 30 seconds or so, that should do it.

I would tend to buy *new* silica jell not use something that has been in
a shoe box. It might well be dry, but you don't know. Here in the UK,
both RS and Farnell sell it quite cheaply. I bought some and as soon as
I have removed a bag, I seal up the rest of them tightly.
I would put the kit in a plastic bag with the silica gel, then remove as
much air (and hence moisture) from this bag as I could. Then seal the
bag well.
Used silica gel will probably be ok, but its anyones guess and I would
not risk it for the quite modest cost of buying the gel fresh. Make sure
you keep the bags tightly sealed though.
