Set of 6 - JBK Pottery Brown Sugar Savers

Decades ago, these clay discs were called "brown sugar bears" (yes, cast in bear shape). Very odd that one of the default rating choices was "flavor" as they are never intended to be eaten. I've used them many years to keep moisture in brown sugar and other items.One does have to moisten the disc before using it by placing the disc in a clean container that is slightly larger than the diameter of the disc (the disc will swell slightly as it absorbs water). Submerge the disc in clean water for 15 minutes. Then remove it, wipe dry and bury it in the food in the container. You will need to "re-moisten" the clay disc periodically. Just remove it from the food container, wipe off any residue, place the disc in a clean container that is slightly larger than the diameter of the disc, submerge the disc in clean water for 15 minutes. Then remove it, wipe dry and pop it back into the food.Be sure to bury a moistened disc in the bag or container of popcorn as soon as you open it. Dried-out popcorn won't pop well or at all. In my Zone 3 winter, I usually re-moisten the popcorn disc every other time I open the container.With brown sugar or sweetened dried fruit, I found that putting the whole plastic bag in a larger sealed container with a moistened disc in it keeps the disc clean as well as the sugar soft.Just remember that these do not preserve the food, only help prevent it from drying out as quickly. Also , the moistened disc must be towel-dry before putting it in food or you may encourage mold or bacterial growth.

These work perfectly. I can't believe I didn't discover these years ago it would have saved me from throwing out hard brown sugar.

We gave these as gifts and every person was thrilled. We use them both wet and dry. One lives in our brown sugar and the other helps with cookies, bread, croissants, etc.

Bought as gift for a family member.......these little things work like a monster truck! soak one day...put in with the rock hard brown sugar and poof.....soft brown sugar!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Product was exactly as described and was delivered promptly, very satisfied!

These little sugar savers do the job. I used one in my homemade powdered dishwasher detergent mix. It had become rock solid, so I put in little disk and within a few days it had moistened and was usable again. Works with brown sugar very well. Tip: sink the disk into the substance you want to keep moistened. I found putting them on top did not work as well in the long term.I know you can break a terracotta pot in pieces to duplicate, but who wants shards of pottery in the sugar? A slice of bread or apple works great, too, but they are food and food spoils, sooo...I recommend these little disks.Make good gifts, too.

I bought these brown sugar savers to keep my sugar from turning hard. So far they seem to work well. They have wonderful designs on each one and are beautifully made. I gave some as gifts to family members, because most of us have had problems w/brown sugar turning hard. Everyone loved them. Hope they keep working. What a great solution to the problem.

Do the job and are cute as well. Too many? Pass them out to family and friends - they will appreciate it.

Great product. Bought them because my wife and I had several containers and bags full of brown sugar that had gone hard, rock hard. Tried putting it in a mini food processor....no go. Then I saw this product advertised and said "why not try it".Bought this set, did as instructed, soaking them in water and patting them dry and then put them in with the brown sugar.The next morning, the sugar was as soft as if I had just purchased it.Now we've got lots of soft brown sugar!

I have used brown sugar savers for many things. The latest is my soft dry dog bones as they dry out easily if the lid is left off the jar. I just soak the brown sugar piece for about 10 min pat dry and put it in the jar to soften then.

lik that there were so many gave some out as a gift

Works great to keep your brown sugar from going hard

Works like a charm! I followed the instructions, adding it to a tub of brown sugar that's been hardened for a while now and voila, soft brown sugar.
