Help! My brown sugar has turned into a rock!

[Kim_NC]

I do this:
Put open bag of sugar in the microwave with a cup of water next to it. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Watch closely to avoid melting the sugar. If your microwave doesn't have a carousel, turn the bag after each minute.

Note: Unused sugar will dry up again. But the process can be repeated each time you need the sugar until its used up.

Lots of other methods here:

Does the bread get moldy before the next time you use the sugar?

Just put it in the microwave for a couple seconds with a wet paper towel wadded up next to it. Dont melt it! Just a few seconds until it softens.

No it dont. I also keep a piece of bread in mine.Works great!!! the bread gets hard but it dont mold...

Nope my bread never gets moldy either, it just solidifies. Then I swap it out for a new piece of bread.

NEWSFLASH: Tupperware modular mates keeps it soft WITHOUT the bread. I had mine in that container for over a year. Still soft.

















I sell Tupperware.....

You can also put a piece of apple in it just to soften it, then go to the bread. If you keep it in an airtight container, you won't have any problems either. I love brown sugar on my oatmeal!!!
