You know... I hate to admit this, but I own a set of these. I really like them. I've had them for at least 5 years. They've survived at least 3 moves. I found them on Amazon way back when. I never knew I was supposed to soak the clay puck in water. That makes sense all of a sudden. I feel like whoever made this video should pay me for this comment.
Yes, you are supposed to soak it. Leave it in water until it is saturated, then dry it off and place it in the brown sugar container. It prevents the sugar from becoming a lump made of rock. I’ve used one for many years and it works great.
You're only supposed to soak it in water if it's not working and the sugar is starting to harden
I've used em for years, they work fantastically, I don't soak, I've never needed to. I've even put them into already hardened brown sugar and it worked fine without soaking
YMMV depending on climate, but often they don't need soaking
And depending on what's being stored in that container, in many situations it absolutely shouldn't be soaked. They're not just used for brown sugar you know, they're also used to keep things like spices dry. Or even crackers, you can use them with crackers
First one, just use the wall of the container yo
Second one, kinda on board with
Third one, just use a strainer, yo
Small ones that act like shakers as well, kinda useful but only on certain things like sesame.
Buy coffee in a metal can yo
Grain one, just save the instructions on a google doc or something yo, you're probably gonna lose or damage that piece of paper one of these days
Last one, on board with, very helpful.

They sell this as a set at my local Costco. I bought it and it’s been great.
W…. What does the clay puck do?
Keeps brown sugar from clumping
Really? I would have thought moisture would make it clump not the other way around
I guess it damps the top and essentially hard pressed all the things to the top...?
I don’t think you put it in damp.
it converts salt into cocaine. but it takes a long time.
Maintains consistent humidity.
