Does brown sugar stay soft in these containers?

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

No. Use lime juice and store it with a good seal. The brown color is just that, color. It will not affect the taste. Just stir it up and enjoy!

I reuse the same lids all the time with out any problems, I buy brown sugar and other baking ingredients , rice , flour etc on sale with coupons and seal it in jars all the time. I've never had an issue and have done this a few years now.

I use one for white sugar and another for brown. They are air tight so they keep sugar well.

I have an old canister that holds my Brown Sugar and the leaf is doing great in there. Hope that helps.

I would not suggest them for a very small container. I have one in my flour canister and one in my sugar canister, but they are both large containers. I would not try to use them in any small canisters.

I haven't tried the bears, but I think they are similar. These may be smaller. In any event, soak one of these in water for about 10-15 minutes, dry off completely, and put in the sealed container with the brown sugar. I live in a very dry climate and got tired of the brown sugar drying out. This has done the trick - it stays moist for weeks.

I put flour and sugar in mine. They have rubber seals on them an as long as you make sure they are tightly closed, they work ok. I would not say they are really super air tight though.

Someone mentioned that she bought the brown sugar in the bag just so she could use these canisters. I presume she put the sugar in the baggie into the canister. It's a thought!

I have been keeping brown sugar in mine for about 6 months without a problem, however, I do keep the sugar in the original bag also.

Mine are Type 7 Other, which is probably not going to help you. I imagine that they are safe for food. However, I find them quite brittle and several of mine have broken. If you are careful in handling them (e.g., never, ever try to pry out hardened brown sugar), they are fine for casual use. The large openings are nice.

Only if I've put something in there that's too liquidy but with something nice and thick like yogurt, applesauce or sweet potato pure I've never had a problem. Also don't overfill too much. I would definitely recommend these, they are a good price and they wash easily.

Hi. They are too large for your dimensions and work best in a cupboard or pantry. Brown sugar and powdered sugar measure just under 6" and the spice (smallest one) is just under 4". They are great otherwise.

Each time I used these contains in the freezer the lids have never became hard, they are always flexible. I use these containers in the freezer only and the lids stay on until I remove them.

I have not done this yet, but I imagine if placed while the buttercream was still soft they would absolutely stay. I have used the rose & scroll molds with melted chocolate on the top of cakes with pretty results.

It is made of a hard plastic, like plexiglass. I have had brown sugar in mine for several months and it's still fresh.

No - each one is "loose" in the box, although what I did was have my daughter repack them in a large plastic container. They arrived very neatly packed with no apparent broken ones. I think they are really packed for commercial (ie food service) use, but they appear to be the least expensive type. And I think repacked as we did, they'll last a while. Hope this was helpful
