There has got to be a way to keep a box of brown sugar from turning into a brick. I don't use it often but it always seems to be hard as a brick when I go to use it. Thanks for any ideas.

Store it in an airtight container and put a little terra cotta ‘brown sugar saver’ in with it. Try to keep it in a container without too much empty space, you want as little air as possible in with the sugar. | ||

I found that if I buy it in a plastic bag then once opened twist the bag down to the sugar (like a loaf of bread) then fold the tail over and rubber band it down, it stays moist and useable to the end. Current cupboard inhabitant shown below. Chuck

I buy brown sugar in the 2 lb. plastic bags, and empty them into old 64oz. peanut butter jars, and the sugar stays soft for months this way. They hold one of these bags just right. If you don’t have one of these jars, I believe you can buy Rubbermaid plastic jars with a screw on lid. I think you get a tighter seal with a screw on lid.

A Timely Post For The Holidays Safeway's store brand provides a resealing strip for their brown sugar that's packaged in a plastic bag. I fold the bag closed until there's no air gap left, then use the provided tape to seal it. The contents stay soft for long periods between uses. I think C & H offers zip-lock plastic packaging.

I keep my Domino brown sugar in a Hefty zip bag. I squeeze the excess air out when I close it, and the sugar has been staying nice. I've been keeping my C&H Baker's Sugar the same way. | ||

I buy C&H in the plastic bag, keep it folded tight, and stored in a large zip-lock bag to boot. Never had any problems with it turning solid. Storing it in a container is another matter. Was never able to keep it from solidifying in a storage container. | ||

I always buy the cheapest store brand brown sugar, 3 lb at a time.
I always just pour mine into my vintage Tupperware canister and leave it on the counter. My brown sugar is never hard, sometimes it takes 6-9 months to empty the canister

sorry about this... reminds me of an old joke... "I call my girlfriend Brown Sugar." "Why, because she is dark and sweet?" "No, because she is coarse and unrefined..." | ||
