How would i properly store brown sugar so that it doesn't become hard?

Answer 1

Keep your brown sugar in an air tight container, but if you already have hard as rock brown sugar place in a microwave safe bowl and nuke it until its warm and crumbly, becareful not to nuke to much or you'll get a sugar burn. Once you have made your sugar soft then place in a airtight container and place a piece of bread on top ( one of my teachers told be about that works like a champ) make sure you change the bread every now and again.

Answer 2

Store the brown sugar in an airtight container. If it does get hard, place a slice of bread in the bag with it. There is also a product called a Brown Sugar Bear that you place in the container with the sugar to keep it soft.

Answer 3

I heard that a slice of apple will re-moisturize hardened brown sugar but to keep it in an airtight container will prevent it from getting hard. I don't know how true any of that is, after all, it comes in an airtight bag inside of a box and I don't think I have every opened a box that wasn't hard.

Try what you want but keep that meat mallet handy.

Answer 4

It does need to be airtight. A slice of bread in the container keeps it fresh.

Answer 5

Airtight, so moisture can't get into it and get it sticky and hard. You might also try using it w/ some regularity, or at least not buying so much at one time.

If it does get rock hard, nuke it for about 10 seconds and it should become soft again.

Answer 6

store it in an airtight container with a slice of bread

Answer 7

Again---slice of bread. Works for overly crispy cookies too.
