It even works on an entire bag that is completely solid. All you do is put the brown sugar in an airtight container with a lid (you may have to break the sugar into pieces so it will fit). Cover the top with a layer of plastic wrap, then lay a wet paper towel over the top. Put on the lid. In a day or two, depending on the amount of brown sugar to be softened, the sugar will be as soft as sugar just purchased!

Microwave at high for 1 1/2-2 minutes for 1/2 pound or 2 - 3 minutes for 1 pound. By Robin RE: Softening Brown Sugar Post By Katie A. (Guest Post) (08/10/2004) All I do is wet a small wad of paper towel or paper napkin and put it in with the brown sugar. That moistens it and softens it for practically no cost at all. RE: Softening Brown Sugar Post By Deanna (Guest Post) (08/09/2004) All this fuss about brown sugar. Just transfer it to a freezer bag as soon as you get home from the market. It has never hardened on me this way. Just be sure to reclose the bag! RE: Softening Brown Sugar Post By Linne Dodds (Guest Post) (08/06/2004) Keep a clean piece of a broken clay pot in an airtight container with it . I've seen Expensive versions in catalogs & stores & all it is is a piece of terra cotta so who needs a fancy design that costs $s ? RE: Softening Brown Sugar Post By Liz Homard (Guest Post) (08/05/2004) I always keep brown sugar in freeZer, then place in microwave on defrost for a few seconds, take what you need and place the rest back in freezer. No waste at all also keeps bugs out RE: Softening Brown Sugar Post By Julie (Guest Post) (08/04/2004) You can also re-soften or keep brown sugar soft by placing it in an air tight container and place one or two pieces of white bread in with it. Will soften overnight or you can just change the bread every other week. You must use white bread do not use wheat. Some also use half an apple instead of white bread but I don't like the after taste of the apple and you must change it more often. I put a reminder on my pda or calender and change the bread as I complete other tasks that I only do once or twice a month.
