squirtymomma Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 What happened? I made the classic flour/salt/oil/water playdoh on the stove with my kids yesterday. It was the perfect consistency. We put it in plastic containers and got it out this morning, and it was terribly sticky and useless. We've made this recipe multiple times and never had this problem. Any ideas? Is it salvageable?

Mama_Rana Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 My guess is that it didn't cool enough before being closed up. Is it humid in your area? I know it is here. Also, the stove-top recipe I have include cream of tartar. Does yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirtymomma Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hmmm... hadn't thought of that. Definitely humid here, but the a/c is running. You're probably right that it had to do with storing it before it cooled. Shoot. Yes, cream of tartar is optional in the recipe. I think I have used it in the past, but didn't this time. I wonder if I could cook it again to firm it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
