FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q. How should Argo Corn Starch be stored?

A. With Argo Corn Starch’s convenient, re-sealable container, you do not need to do anything additional to keep your corn starch fresh. Replace the lid tightly and store in a dry place.

Q. How is corn starch used in cooking?

A. Convenient and versatile, corn starch is used as a thickener for gravies, sauces and glazes, soups, stews and casseroles. It also thickens pies and is an essential ingredient in corn starch puddings and cake fillings. In cakes, cookies and pastries, corn starch is often mixed with flour to produce more tender baked goods. It also is used to coat foods before frying, and as an ingredient in batters.

Q. What are the advantages of using corn starch rather than flour?

A. Corn starch thickens with a satiny smoothness and glossy appearance. It adds no taste of its own to mask the flavor of foods. Recipes thickened with corn starch have a brighter, more translucent appearance than those thickened with flour. Corn starch also blends more easily with cold liquids than flour because it doesn't absorb liquid until it's cooked.
