CLEVER KITCHEN HACKS

The molasses in brown sugars can cause the grains to clump together if a pack is left unsealed. In that event, tip the sugar into a bowl, lay a damp sheet of kitchen paper over the top and cover the bowl with a plate. Microwave in 10-second blasts until the sugar is soft again. You can do this over and over, but if you store it in a tightly sealed container it should remain free- lowing.
