I vacuum seal my bs in bags all the time. It only seems like a brick because all the air is sucked out. When you open it up again, it is completely soft. Using a canister is not necessary.

Yep, keep brown sugar in the bottom vegetable bin – I’ve done this for 40 years – never gets hard. Twister is absolutely on it!

I keep my brown sugar in the bottom vegetable bin inside the refrigerator. Have done this for years and it never gets hard; always ready for use.

I would avoid #10–I bent my Kitchen Aid blade that way, and it doesn’t work as well now.

I grew up in Florida and never had to worry about hard brown sugar when cooking w/ my mom’s supply. But then I grew up, got married and moved to Utah and Idaho. This was my introduction to brick brown sugar, and no one in my family has any idea how to fix it because they’re all in the humid south. Thanks SO much for these tips! I’ve printed them out and hung them in my pantry by my brown sugar supply.
