Preparation & Use

For thickening, mix Argo Corn Starch with a small amount of cold water to form a smooth slurry before adding it to hot liquids. This prevents clumping and ensures even distribution. Use roughly 1 tablespoon of corn starch per cup of liquid for medium thickness; adjust upward for a firmer set in pie fillings or puddings. For baking, substitute up to 2 tablespoons of corn starch for an equal amount of flour in cake and cookie recipes to produce a softer, more delicate crumb. Always bring corn starch thickened mixtures to a brief simmer to activate full thickening power.

Applications

Beyond traditional thickening, Argo Corn Starch works as an anti caking agent for powdered sugar and shredded cheese, a starch base for homemade play clay, and a light coating for stir fry proteins that delivers a crisp finish without heavy breading. In commercial kitchens, it stabilizes sauces that must hold under heat lamps and thens to a clean sheen on the plate.
