If you don't have a microwave set your oven on low and put it in there. Over time the crystals get smaller (as they lose their water of crystallisation they tend to crack) but this doesn't really matter. You can replace it after a few cycles if it gets a bit powdery. Don't overdo the heating. Less is best.
