resoaking
Immersing once more
Resoaking is soaking something again, returning it to liquid after an initial soak: The beans dried out, so I'm resoaking them overnight.
The term appears in cooking, cleaning, and any process where materials need prolonged contact with liquid to achieve the desired effect.
