I tried of those in my sugar bowl and had only limited success. It would
keep it moist for a few days but then it would start to harden. There a
loose fitting top on the bowl. A few months ago I picked up smallish
glass jar with a plastic seal and spring lock and put some brown sugar
in it with a wet terra cotta disc and it works okay. The rest of my
brown sugar is kept in a Tupperware container with a piece of bread in
it. I have not changed the bread in years.
