I heat mine up on a cookie sheet in the oven.  250 degrees for about 
10 minutes.  Open a window, the fumes can really get your attention. 
  Then I seal them in glass quart mayo or canning jars, using the 
canning lids.  Toss the jars if peppers in the freezer as Jim 
recommended for an extra bit of protection.

I store about 50 jars of powders and whole dried chiles this way 
each year.
