I have the brown bear disc as well. I think it is just terra cotta clay fired. I wonder if a flower pot chip would work the same, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

I didn't read all of the thread but you need a "Sugar Bear". It's a clay un-glazed bear that you "bury" in your brown sugar. The instructions are on the pkg of how to prepare the bear. I've had mine for years and love him!

I use bread, however, I use the heel of the bread - usually never eaten, just discarded and it works quite well So what are we going to bake?

scroll way down to see the disk. You can buy these at Bed Bath and Beyond or other kitchen stores

I also have had the bear disk for years and the sugar is always soft

It does! Same with cookies, I like my chocolate chip cookies soft and DH likes them crunchy, so I put a slice of bread in with some of them (in a different container) and mine stay soft and chewy! Always have a piece of bread in my brown sugar in the summer time.

I think that I have done every way possible to keep brown sugar from getting hard. A couple of months ago I thought what if I put it in the freezer. I used a Rubber Maid snap lid container. When I want some brown sugar I take it from the freezer and it thaws in a just a few minutes and it is never hard. It really works!!!
