But some cheap simple terra cotta pots (or very tiny ones meant for
crafts). Wash with soap and water, rinse extremely well with clean
water. Break the pots into large shards; leave the tiny ones whole. Soak
in clean cold water, wipe off the drips and put a shard (or the whole
tiny pot) into the container with the sugar. Soak the shard(s) every
couple of weeks. No lumps in the sugar.
Anyway why toss the hardened sugar? Warm it in the microwave just prior
to use.
