Never have hard brown sugar again! Handmade from terracotta earthenware clay, a sugar saver is a small piece of terracotta designed to maintain desirable moisture levels in brown sugar for approximately 3 to 6 months.

How to Care & Use This Item
-
Use It Wet - Keep Things Moist
: To revive your brown sugar, follow these easy steps:
1. Soak the terracotta sugar saver in water for 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Pat it dry. You don’t want sugar sticking all over its surface.
3. Place it on top of the brown sugar and store it in an airtight container.
4. When sugar begins to harden, repeat above the process.
5. Rinse the terracotta sugar saver with water only.

Use It Dry - Keep Things Dry
: Instead of keeping something moist, you can use sugar savers the other way to prevent moisture in your storage. Dry terracotta sugar savers are extremely absorbent and very functional for soaking up excess moisture around them. Things you want to keep dry may include spices in kitchens, supplements and medications in bathrooms, and dry pet foods. Keep food from getting soggy and spoiled, and save yourself and your pets from getting sick. To use sugar savers dry, follow these simple steps:
1. Soak the terracotta sugar saver in water for 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Pat it dry. You don’t want sugar sticking all over its surface.
