Brown Sugar - The Secret to Keeping it Soft

baking tip baking tools Feb 28, 2024

Have you ever reached for the bag of brown sugar only to find it rock solid? I have...many...many times! Well, I have a solution for you! 

Terracotta! Did you know that these light brown disks can help keep you from going insane? YES! Now you don't have to nuke the brown sugar in the microwave with a wet paper towel. Am I the only one who does that? Oh....that is another trick you can use if you are desperate. Or just run to the store and buy another bag. But now...you don't have to! As long as you wet the terracotta disk every two months or when you notice the brown sugar getting hard, your brown sugar will always be soft!

If you're someone who doesn't bake often, check the bag every couple of weeks. I also recommend buying a brown sugar keeper container, whether you bake often or not. You can also find them on Amazon, The Container Store, Bed Bath and Beyond, or Walmart. Alternatively, you can buy just the terracotta at those same places or any kitchen store online and place it directly into your brown sugar. I recommend putting the brown sugar in a container though.
