C & H Baker`s Sugar Ultra-Fine Pure Cane Sugar 4 lbs. (Pack of 3)

I was delighted to have come across an Audobon article on measuring the food (1 part fine sugar, 4 parts water .. I use 1/4 c. sugar w/ 1 c. water). They explained that boiling water is t necessary, because the food essentially becomes contaminated regardless once a hummingbird feeds. The process went from hours to minutes .. nice! 👏👏👏

Used to be able to buy this in my grocery store. Not anymore--thankfully it's online. Packaged well so no sugar spilled into the box.

Love the pour spout, crush proof packaging! Super value on this sugar.

have used this product for years when making "Cheesecakes" , Cakes , sweet breads , etc. it doesn't clump , melts beautifully in whatever I use it for.

Much easier to fully incorporate in whatever you are cooking...

What I like: I've bought 48 pounds over the past two years, and I've never had clumping that didn't respond to shaking the box before using it. Just a few shakes and the sugar pours out like silk. Other brands I've bought locally apparently have shipping/storing problems that caused nearly unbreakable clumps. Whatever clumps I've had with this brand respond to a tap with a spoon. I like the packaging: I never have more than 4lbs open, and it's stored in a water-resistant box rather than a paper bag.Things to know:Ultra-fine sugar is also known as "Caster" sugar, "Baker's" sugar, "Baker's special" sugar, or (cocktail)"Bar" sugar. It is no different than table sugar except that it is produced in a much finer grain.I'm not a baker, so I'm not using this in large amounts. I use it in anything where I need the sugar to dissolve quickly and completely, as in iced coffee. (It's often known as "bar sugar" because the ultra-fine grains dissolve in cold cocktails.) This Ultra-Fine is what I always have in the sugar bowl since it can be stirred easily into anything. I've become spoiled on having it available and now use it whenever a recipe requires less than a cup of sugar and only a short handling time. Muffins, for instance.It measures approximately the same as table sugar when you're using it in small quantities. However, because the grain is so fine, more of this baker's sugar can settle into a container than table sugar can. When using large amounts in a recipe it's better to measure by weight instead of volume, but for most of us, that's impractical. Elsewhere among these reviews, user Dinubabear suggests removing one tablespoon full of this Ultra-Fine from each cup in a recipe when you are replacing table sugar.The price for this product changes, so I buy ahead of need. I paid $2.19 per pound with this last purchase of three 4lb boxes at $26.30, free shipping. I buy when the price is between $24 to $28 with free shipping.UPDATE: Forgot I was expecting delivery and this got left out in the package shelter overnight in the rain. When a visitor brought it in, the box got wet during trip from car to front door. It was wet in the kitchen for a few hours before I opened it ... and it was fine. Some small clumps turned back into silk when pressed with a spoon. I hope it performs as well for you.

I am so glad to find a source for bulk packages of superfine sugar for baking! I have English and Hungarian cookbooks that regularly call for superfine sugar in dessert recipes, but I can only find 12-oz shaker bottles in local stores. Those are too expensive for baking on a regular basis. I know I can run regular granulated sugar through a food processor, but that's messy and the results are inconsistent. This 4-pound order lasts a long time and the quality is excellent. Plus the seller is super helpful - the post office severely damaged my first shipment, and the seller replaced it right away. Highly recommend.

It's lovely sugar as far as I can tell. Dissolves very easily, I haven't baked with it yet, but it'll be a joy. My only beef was that one of the boxes was leaking and spilled all over my floor when I tried to take out of the box.
