would this work for brown sugar? if so, would you recommend this item?

I sent this item back after the first time I used it. The sifting screen fell it of it. No I would not recommend it!

I definitely would recommend this item but I cannot answer about the brown sugar as have not tried but see no reason why it would not work!

It would be uniquely NOT appropriate for the kind of brown sugar I use - a sticky molasses based, fairly solid, crumbly out of the box. This strainer works perfectly for dry flour. Mine still works perfectly - every Sunday since I bought it. The only complaint is the handle - if you had to use it for a more than a few seconds, the handle is very uncomfortable.

You don't sift brown sugar, you pack it. I have never in my long life of baking had a recipe call for sifting brown sugar. It will sift dry ingredients, technically, brown sugar has too much moisture in it to be called a dry ingredient.

Oh heavens NO. Do not dry them out. After soaking in hot water for 15 minutes, hand dry in paper towel and then place in your sugars to keep them moist like the day you opened the package of brown sugar. Drying them out totally will not give you the benefit of keeping brown sugar moist. I have been using these for years. I have 2 in my brown sugar. 1 towards the bottom and 1 above the middle of container.

Sorry, I can't answer this question because my brown sugar was already firm when I put it in one of these containers.

I definitely think so...this is the sugar I use for making body scrubs. It is courser than "normal" sugar and seems to hold up well in the oils I use.

Yeaah it would, cause inside it has the different shades of brown from dark to light. I personally think it works with every brown :)

It does say on some of the packages you should, but I never did and they work great! I have placed 2 in a 5 gallon bucket of brown sugar and have not had any problems with it getting hard on me.

The Brown Sugar Keeper doesn't have a leveler because, most of the time, a recipe will tell you to pack the brown sugar. If it leveled it off, it would not be a packed cup or half cup, or whatever the recipe calls for, and you would not have enough brown sugar for the recipe.

I would definitely think that for cupcakes it would work. However, I'm not sure about brownies. When I was a kid, we made brownies from "scratch" and they were unbelievably thick. These I don't think would work, but if you're making something from a box mix, like a cake batter, I would think it would work. I am very happy with my dispenser :)

I never tried it and did not think about it but you could probably try the maple sugar, it is sold for grinders, I got mine from a company called Epicure in Canada and they do have a web site. I also saw another brand they sell in grocery stores and sells some refill bags for their own grinders but I do not remember the brand. Good luck

To be honest I wouldn't use it for that. It's just so bitter even with sugar. I recommend Maeda-en.

The bigger one (with a square top) I think that can hold 4 to 5 pounds of sugar, in sequence the 2nd can hold 2 1/2 pounds of flour, I would put brown sugar in the tall/rectangular one. There's 2 small square ones that you can put baking soda. The confection fits with the others containers.I think that it might suits your needs!Only be careful with the lids. I suggest to never lift the container holding the lid lid. Even closed it opened, almost broke with me and made a mess with flour. At least the acrylic is very resistant and didn't shattered!Good Luck!

You can use granulated sugar...look on utube for demo videos & ideas, so helpful!

Karen,Thanks for asking. The answer is absolutely!In fact, we just used it to replace some brown sugar in a molasses cookie recipe. We did adjust the moisture a bit - we just winged it and they came our delicious. However, elevated temperatures do remove some of the prebiotic benefits. But it works great as a sugar substitute in baking.I hope this helps!MarkGold Source Labs

Ive used this for brown rice and sticky rice (separately and together). However, it almost exclusively sees use with brown rice. The directions suggest 2.5 to 3 cups water for every uncooked cup of brown rice, but i find that 2.5 works best. Im not sure what specifically isn't working for you, but ive never had any problems. Maybe if you elaborate Id be better-equipped to offer a suggestion.

I really do not know if it will or not. The screen would be too small for granulated sugar to go through. I bought the bigger one that you can use for flour for the sugar canister. They do make a much smaller version of this, that you could put spices in, and I use that one for cinnamon sugar mix. I do have the one for brown sugar and it works great !!! I love all the canisters and containers in this line !

I don't understand the reference to brown sugar. Cardio supplement has nothing to do with brown sugar.

I don't think it will work with granulated sugar. The area that sprinkles is very fine, works great for powdered.
