| What can I do about white sugar that has hardened? | to Top |
Granulated sugar hardens and develops lumps when it is exposed to moisture and then allowed to dry out. To render the sugar useable, break the lumps into smaller pieces with a rolling pin or similar utensil. Whirl the sugar in a blender or food processor until the lumps break apart and the sugar is measurable.

This webber sometimes will add a small piece of apple to the sugar or even microwave it just a tad to soften it enough to weigh. Yes, I like to use a weight with the sugar [200 grams=1 cup].Updated: Saturday, December 29, 2007.
