What Is Cornstarch Used For?
Cornstarch is primarily used as a thickening agent. It’s made up of a long chain of starch molecules that will unravel and swell when heated in the presence of moisture. This swelling, or gelatinization, is what causes thickening.
Ways to Use Cornstarch
1. Egg Substitute in Baked Goods
Cornstarch is key in vegan baking, or anytime you don’t have an egg on hand: Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of warm water and you have a great egg substitute in cookies, cakes, or breads.
2. Make Fluffy Omelets
For fluffy omelets every time, mix a pinch of cornstarch with an egg, beat, and cook the omelet.
3. Make Crispy Waffles
Add to waffle mix to cheat getting a really crispy waffle crust
4. Mix With All-Purpose Flour When You Don’t Have Cake Flour
Try mixing cornstarch with a bit of all-purpose flour and baking powder to create this cake flour substitute when you’re in a pinch.
5. Thicken Sauces
Mix a bit of cornstarch with cold broth or water in a small bowl to create what’s called a “slurry.” Then whisk the slurry into the liquid you want to thicken as it simmers.
6. Thicken Fruit Pie Fillings
Cornstarch is the secret to a thick, almost gel-like pie filling
7. Untie Knots
Cornstarch will reduce friction between the fibers on a rope or shoelace, allowing you to untie even the tightest knot. Simply sprinkle a bit on the knot and rub it in.
8. Make Crispy Gluten-Free Fried Coatings
Use it to ‘bread’ chicken, shrimp, or tofu to get it crispy instead of flour or breadcrumbs.
9. Remove Grease Splatters From Walls
Sprinkle a bit of cornstarch on a soft cloth and rubbing away the grease spot.
10. Dust the Counter for Rolling out Fondant
11. DIY Silver Polish
Return the sparkle and shine to your silverware without buying polish. Simply make a paste using cornstarch and water, and use a damp cloth to apply it to your silverware. Once the paste dries, rub it with a soft cloth. The cornstarch will buff away the dullness without being too abrasive.
12. Make Homemade Slime
A bit of cornstarch, water, and glitter or food coloring, makes a simple craft that kids will love. This “slime” can be stored in a plastic bag or airtight container for later use.
