Also, what is the mechanism responsible for your claim of "drawing out moisture?" ...And heat plays no role in evaporation? All news to me. I have a strong feeling this rice thing is one of those memes so ingrained into people's minds that they will never let it go. If anything it might be just a tad more effective than air drying, but since air drying doesn't make people feel like they have some sort of scientific insight, people will continue perpetuating what might be a myth.
