Go for it. It’s fun, it’s educational, and it’s a great way to salvage a pantry mistake. Just don’t expect a perfect 1:1 swap in flavor or behavior.
Think of it as a conversation starter. “Did you know you can wash molasses off brown sugar?” you’ll say at your next dinner party. People will be fascinated, or at least mildly amused.
And if nothing else, you’ll never look at a bag of brown sugar the same way again. It’s not just a sweetener—it’s a disguised white sugar that’s just waiting to spill its secrets. So go ahead, give it a rinse. You might just discover a new kitchen superpower.
