I've just started to use the KA Sourdough Starter. Is there a "correct" consistency that the starter should be in the crock? Mine is very sticky ... making it a bit difficult to measure out a cup at a time. We have excellent care instructions on our site with this information. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/tips/sourdough-tips.html Joan D @ bakershotline. Hi John, Yes, the starter is quite sticky, gooey in texture. That's normal, and you're right, it makes it a bit harder to deal with. Using the edge of a spoon to "cut" the starter helps, or I like to use a cookie or ice cream scoop. ~ MaryJane
