Tips for breaking up large chunks of brown sugar

Whether we are in supermarkets or some food stores, we will see some bulk brown sugar, because brown sugar can warm the uterus or the stomach, and brown sugar also plays a very important role in the process of making some foods, so the sales volume of brown sugar has remained high. So let’s take a look at some tips on how to break up large pieces of brown sugar.

1. How to crush brown sugar cubes

When brown sugar clumps and hardens, never try to cut it with a knife. This is dangerous, easy to cut your hands, and the effect is not good. Here are two tips to restore brown sugar to its original state for your reference:

1. Place the hardened brown sugar in a humid place, then wrap it with two or three layers of wrung wet cloth. Check on it after a few minutes and you will find that it is ready.

2. Put the sugar in a glass container, put it in the microwave, select "low heat", and then turn it on for five minutes. The sugar will become soft again. The effect is very good.

2. Storage method of brown sugar cubes

First, we need to understand the properties of brown sugar. If brown sugar is not stored properly, it will generally become hard lumps. This is a physical change caused by the brown sugar absorbing water molecules in the air. Therefore, if you don’t want brown sugar to become hard and spoil, it is particularly important to store it correctly.

Secondly, it should be made clear that brown sugar is not suitable for long-term storage. Brown sugar should usually be kept in a dry and ventilated place for no more than two or three months. If it is stored for too long, its quality may be affected due to improper storage, making it difficult for the brown sugar to exert its intended effect.

You need to pay attention to the temperature when storing brown sugar. This is because if brown sugar accidentally absorbs a large amount of water, once it is placed in a very dry environment, the temperature will change and the water in the brown sugar itself will evaporate when it is heated, turning the brown sugar into a solid lump.

To store brown sugar, you need a sealed jar, which can be a tin jar, a glass jar, or a plastic jar. It is easy to find such jars in real life, such as some milk powder jars, pickle jars, or some snack jars.

To store brown sugar, place it in a ventilated, dry and dark place. After we seal the brown sugar, we need to find a suitable place to put them. At this time, it is better if the jar can be dark (be careful to avoid black), so that it can better avoid direct sunlight.

It is better to store brown sugar in the refrigerator. If you have a refrigerator at home, you can put the sealed brown sugar in the refrigerator. Be sure to seal the brown sugar well, otherwise it will be difficult to preserve it if it is not sealed.

If brown sugar accidentally turns into a hard lump, you might as well put a few cabbage leaves or a few apples in a sealed sugar jar. After two or three days, the sugar will return to its original shape and slowly become soft. At this time, you can take out the cabbage leaves or apple pieces.
