can this work for granulated sugar?

I believe it would be fine. I use the container that was designated for flour because I wanted more sugar at my finger tips. I use smaller ones for brown sugar and confectioner sugar. They seal well and you can see how much you have left when you put it away.

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

Yes, it would work for granulated sugar, but its small compared to the brown sugar container (which does NOT have the shaker option)

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 think that you can. It is a bit more like brown sugar in that it's more moist than white sugar, but it would probably work. You can look online for how to use the "Ball Test" when making candy, or you can use a candy thermometer to ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature as per your recipe. I tried once to make candy on a very humid, overcast day & it did not firm up, so I'd recommend making the candy on a clear day :)

Yes it does. I use it for hard candy, taffy, and even frosting. Be careful! Very hot. 1 tsp is too hot for some

I don't see why it wouldn't. The little white spout flips out and you can probably put anything (dry) in there. I LOVE this. No more spilled sugar!

Yes, I use them to sprinkle powdered sugar sometimes. You just hold it upside down over your food and tap the side of the canister.

my understanding i'ts a smaller granual sugar. "floss sugar". i have not tried regular sugar. but I am sure you can get something that will work without going the more expense route. good luck

Granulated sugar would sift right through, so I doubt this would work for that purpose

Yes. I put them in the pouch to soften up my dog's chewy vitamins that started to dry out way too fast and they worked great. I was a worried that they would take on the flavor of the dog's stuff but they were OK. I suppose you could give it a try with the regular sugar, but something way back in my mind tells me because it is more granular, back in the day, they used to do something like break up regular sugar that had hardened into smaller pieces and then run it through some sort of grinder or another. I'd google for a few options before I opted for the sugar bears.

It doesn't hold sugar, it keeps it moist in the container that you put it in. It works very well too! I have used one for years, but had to replace it when I moved (it got left at my previous home).

I don't see why not as it is pretty much flavored sugar water. I think the trick will be in determining the correct amount to employ. But let me thank you for this great idea as now I look forward to trying it in the next cake I bake. Note that although I purchased the variety pack which is pricey they do also sell individual bottles as well.

I have only used this item for salt. I think powdered sugar needs to be sifted.

nope . will work only for grains....like rice and some whole grains. flour will clog and very hard to dispense. wouldn't store sugar in it - container not being airtight it might crystallise esp in tropical climate.

Have not tried it but I seriously doubt it. With any humidity--the sugar would stick it shut! It's made for grains--& I like the fact that it doesn't powder the grain to a fine cake flour. I mostly make Whole Wheat breads-artisan style, heavy & chewy!

When I did research on this I saw several posts indication that it works best with regular sugar granules and that anything else was less than adequate

Yes. It would! We recently used it to make chocolates in molds. I mostly use it to pour hard candy into molds.

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).

It is a course crystal sugar. I don't bake enough to know if it will work for that. Sorry.
