I keep in a cool pantry, and it seems to stay soft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772654 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 01:17:54 +0000 Anonymous 1772654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ziplock bag inside Tupperware canister </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772649 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 00:00:44 +0000 Echo 1772649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I always keep mine in its original bag in the pantry. They usually come with a ziplock top, and if they do not, I just roll the top of the bag down and wrap a rubber band around the bag. Like kellygirl, I think we go through it fast enough that it never gets hard for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772636 Sun, 29 Jan 2017 22:40:19 +0000 rachylou 1772636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One thing you want is an airtight seal - and if possible to get out all the air. Packing it down in your container could help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772631 Sun, 29 Jan 2017 21:51:50 +0000 kellygirl 1772631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We must use too much brown sugar. Mine never has a chance to get hard. I always just buy the C&amp;H in the zipper top plastic bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772613 Sun, 29 Jan 2017 20:42:32 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1772613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's hard, you can soften it up by putting a chunk of it in the microwave, alongside a wet paper towel. &nbsp; I microwave it in 10-second intervals. &nbsp; The sugar sucks up the steam and it loosens it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772502 Sun, 29 Jan 2017 08:10:12 +0000 Kate 1772502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glass jar with a screw top lid.

At that point, I put in a lettuce leaf, and it's usually soft within 24 hours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772490 Sun, 29 Jan 2017 04:55:22 +0000 Anonymous 1772490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a tight sealing glass jar or Runcarla's Rubbermaid container ( I have the same one, red lid and all) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772453 Sun, 29 Jan 2017 02:25:17 +0000 Carla 1772453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tight Rubbermaid container works for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772427 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 23:19:22 +0000 MTBGirl 1772427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always use a "Brown-Sugar Bear" in a glass jar. It works great! Mine is broken in half but still going strong. Every so often I'll soak him for 20 minutes in some warm water, dry him off and pop him back in.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772417 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 22:40:51 +0000 Anonymous 1772417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also use the jars JAileen is showing, and they work well for me with brown sugar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772416 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 22:36:24 +0000 JAileen 1772416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use this kind of jar to store sugar, flour, cornmeal, etc. Brown sugar stays moist in it, and I live in a desert. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772414 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 22:26:58 +0000 Diana 1772414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I put mine in a ziploc bag and then I put the ziploc bag into a screw top container (either plastic or glass but it must be screw top for maximum airtightness). It lasts for quite a while for me that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-brown-sugar#post-1772402 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 20:48:09 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1772402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the great mysteries of life: how do you store brown sugar without it getting hard? I've read all the advice, tried plastic containers, glass containers, ziploc, leaving bread or an apple slice in the container, buying those terracotta thingies... None of it has worked consistently. Have you found something that works for you? </p>
