Our summer weather is humid enough that we don't need to worry about
sugar hardening into rocks. Winter weather is much drier. I tried one
of those clay disks that you soak and then put into the sugar. It worked
okay in the sugar bowl, but had to be refreshed weekly. Bread did a
much better job and does not need to be replaced.
