How do I de-clump powdered coffee creamer?

Question

My powdered creamer has turned clumped into a hardened piece after just a few days. How do I de-clump this and keep it in its powdered form?

Answer 1

Use a potato masher to break up the clumps, or a fork.

To stop it from caking, you have to keep it dry, away from moisture, so seal it in a tupperware container or ziplock, or bottle that you can tightly close up.

The caking occurs when moisture in the air dissolves it a little and they stick to other particles around then, and forms small lumps.  These lumps then stick to other lumps etc and ends up in a big lump.

Answer 2

hmm... i always hate it when it does that.  N e way, if the cofee is hot enough, it should still be able to dissolve it.  Other than that, all you can really do is break it up with a knife or something and shake  it every now and then.

Answer 3

Shake it well

Answer 4

Get a new tin

Answer 5

are you keeping the container sealed properly? mine doesn't do that...  I actually prefer the liquid creamers over powder b/c they are so chalky. ick!

Answer 6

Blend it in your blender and then keep it in an air tight container.

Answer 7

I know the cheap stuff does that often.  Try using a sifter.

Answer 8

Convert it to a liquid. Mix it with hot water. The directions are on the jar. I think it's 1 to 1, water and creamer. Keep it refrigerated afterwards.
