The 10 Right Way To Store Brown Sugar

Airtight Container: Store brown sugar in an airtight container to prevent moisture loss and keep it from hardening.

Add Moisture: Place a slice of bread, apple wedge, or a dampened paper towel in the container with brown sugar to maintain moisture.

Clay Discs or Terra Cotta Stones: Place a clay disc or terra cotta stone (available specifically for this purpose) in the container to keep brown sugar soft.

Freezer Bag: Transfer brown sugar into a resealable freezer bag, squeezing out excess air before sealing to prevent hardening.

Vacuum Sealing: Use a vacuum sealer to remove air from the storage bag or container, preserving the freshness of the brown sugar.

Brown Sugar Keeper: Invest in a brown sugar keeper, a specially designed container with a built-in terra cotta disc to maintain moisture.

Store in a Cool, Dark Place: Keep brown sugar in a cool, dark place away from heat sources, such as the stove or direct sunlight.

Avoid Refrigeration: Refrigeration can dry out brown sugar, making it hard. Store it at room temperature instead.
