Back them in the oven at 250 for about ten minutes then gently pry them apart. Just make sure you seal them up good or it will condensate again.

u dont hafta pry them apart. just remove it and blow hot air into it, most of it will evaporate. let it sit in front of the fireplace or just let it sit in the sun
