Decorative Jar Lids

I put a little brown sugar in one of these ceramic jars counter a moment ago, the kind that come with a decorative wooden spoon and a metal snap lid, and now I can not get out. It is hard rock! What should I do and how can I prevent this from happening again?

Place a piece of bread In IT AND close the lid, it will be the next SOFT! The sugar draws moisture from the bread and it will be hard, but sugar is sweet! Throw away the bread! Works with cookies too! I put a piece of bread with my holiday cookies to keep them soft as fresh-baked, then put the sugar in a zipper bag!

You can wrap it in a ziplock bag and store it so that the inside of your case, or you can put an apple slice in it and it will soften back up.
They also sell little teddy bear-shaped things that you can store it in him to keep it moist.
I found the ziplock is the most effective way to prevent it from happening in the first place.

How do you soften brown sugar that is as hard as concrete? Before it reaches the stage of concrete, but when you notice signs of hardening, place a slice of apple in the bag and leave it for a few days.

After the sugar is hard, you can soften it by placing a cup of sugar in a covered dish in microwave and heat for 30 seconds or more. You may need to heat more than once, but look to see that it begins to melt. You can also heat the brown sugar on a piece of metal in a conventional oven to 250 ° F (120 ° C) for five minutes.

To prevent it from hardening in the first place, store in freezer

put a few drops of water in the jar and wait a bit. Brown sugar absorbs moisture like a madman. This should soften enough that you can get out. It should always be stored in a very dry, like a sealed container.

I would wash it with hot water. To keep this from happening again, I suggest you use a zip bag with no air in the computer and in a cool Keepit.

Place a slice of bread on top of brown sugar and cover and softens in a few hours (which is guaranteed to work), after keeping about half slice of bread on the brown sugar and it will remain soft. I heard a slice of apple works too, although I've never tried.

Normally, you should put the container in the microwave to soften brown sugar. But since your container has a metal clasp on what you cannot. What you have to do is fill a large saucepan with water and put the container down. Simmer water with water bottles (do not boil) until sugar softens enough on the periphery of the break. Once it is soft enough to transfer to a large ziplock bag. Then put it in the microwave on high for 10 seconds at a time until the entire block is soft.

To prevent it from hard rock to the future always store the sugar in a resealable bag, then press down in the cartridge decorative.

Hope this helps!

bread works great just a slice and it will be sweet and gentle.

If you just want to get out of the container to get rid of it, just add hot water, it softens the sugar and you will be able to pour it with water. If you really want to use sugar, throw in a piece of bread.

Put it in your sink and make the hot water slowly into the tank until it dissolves.Just fill it and let it sit, then pour this off and add more ..
