anybody used with brown sugar???

I've sifted brown sugar with white sugar, and it worked. This sifter does the job, but is not as good as the old-time sifters: smaller volume and the crank does not turn easily (at least for me).

I have not used brown sugar. I use it for almond meal and almond/coconut flours. It works wonderfully. Brown sugar is a little course, but so is almond meal. I say give it a try. Amazon is fabulous for exchanging it does not meet your expectations. Hope this helps a little. :)

I have to run it through the sifter a few times but it works well. If the brown sugar is not new I break it up with my fingers into smaller chunks to loosen it up a bit. I have never had a problem using my sifter that way. Just takes a little more sifting.

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 sugar should not harden that fast. I soaked it for several hours, pat dry (not dripping water), then put in the brown sugar jar. It took a little while(at least days) to soften the brown sugar. Maybe try it again?

I don't....it does not affect performance. It took years for mine to turn brown, and I started wiping them with a damp cloth off between cookie batches.

Can you please explain why? Erythritol can be used 1:1 with a slightly less sweet taste and no after taste. It also does not cause any of the stomach ailments other sugars do. I also use it with liquid stevia such as vanilla or lemon and just add a bit of extra flour or cut back a dropper full of liquid. Hope that helps. I haven't found a good brown sugar substitute yet though with erythritol. Maybe someone else has?

Maple syrup is my sugar. Anything that asks for sugar or brown sugar can be replaced with maple syrup. I prefer the B grade for cooking because of its deeper flavor.

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

I found that you have to make sure the latch is catching you must hear it click or push it in. I also soaked the clay disk about two hours. I haven't had any problems actually my brown sugar was rock hard when I put it in the container and continue to be after a month. Hope this help!

I have used it for brownies and it is great. Just use regular brownie mix from the supermarket.

I've used the dark brown and it isn't quite dark enough for covering gray hair. I don't know for sure but I would give it a try. I've also heard that you can add day old coffee, rather than water to the mix - to bring out the brown. Somewhere I also read that you can add black castor oil, which you can order through Amazon. Just add a little less water. I haven't yet tried these but I plan to experiment more in the future!

Yes. I use it as substitute for both. You can also grind it into a powder and mix it with cornstarch to make a a low glycemic frosting for desserts. You have to remember though that anything that is supposed to be "white" or "vanilla" in a dessert will have a brown color.

Yes! This is what would be called for in a recipe which calls for glucose syrup. This product has a similar consistency to corn syrup! (Or you could just use corn syrup instead!)

Have you tried to shake it? I heard the brown is from the fragrance segment. Please shake and see if it makes any difference. :)

Try a simple sugar solution four to one ratio. Bring to a boil and then let it sit for 15 minutes and cool normally. See if that helps

Could experiment and try what you do with brown sugar... place a very small piece of bread in there and wait. Next morning you should have it unclumped.

I had the problem of natural sugar (from Amazon) arriving hard as a brick. I dumped it all (with some effort) into a container, put in a properly soaked Sugar Bear, SEALED the container and waited a week. The sugar softened, BUT you must keep the container closed and keep the Sugar Bear in there or it will harden again. Make SURE your container really seals tight.

You can use it as a one to one substitute for either. However, it has a flavor closer to brown sugar than white suger. Not a big deal in baking but noticeable on cereal ... really yummy on hot cereals though.
