Popular questions
What does baking soda do?
It’s a leavening agent (sodium bicarbonate) that releases carbon dioxide when it reacts with acids, helping batters and doughs rise. It also raises pH, which can enhance browning and mellow acidity.
What's the difference between baking soda and baking powder?
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate and needs an added acid to work; baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate plus acidic salts and usually starch. Most baking powders are double-acting, releasing gas when wet and again when heated.
Can i use baking soda instead of baking powder?
Yes—if you add an acid: for each 1 tsp baking powder, use about 1/4 tsp baking soda plus 1/2 tsp cream of tartar (or an equivalent acidic ingredient like lemon juice, yogurt, or buttermilk). Adjust liquids if using acidic liquids so the batter isn’t too wet.
Does baking soda go bad?
It doesn’t spoil, but it can lose leavening power after opening, especially if exposed to moisture or odors. For baking, replace about every 6 months after opening or test by adding some to vinegar/hot water—vigorous fizz means it’s still active.
Can i use baking powder instead of baking soda?
Often, yes: use roughly 3 times as much baking powder as baking soda (1 tsp soda ≈ 3 tsp powder). Because powder already includes acid and starch, reduce other acidic ingredients if needed, and expect slight changes in flavor or texture.
Buying caustic soda, how to use it to dissolve alum?
E521 (aluminium sodium sulphate, “alum”) is readily soluble in plain water; you don’t need caustic soda, and mixing it with sodium hydroxide can cause an alkaline reaction and is not appropriate for food use.
Cinema modeoff how to repair a 12 volt battery for under 5 dollars using alum and baking soda?
E521 is a food-grade leavening acid used in baking powders and water treatment, not intended for battery repair; using “alum” in lead–acid batteries is unsafe and not recommended.
Dell dimension e521 how remove a firewire pci card?
E521 here refers to aluminium sodium sulphate, a food additive used as an acid in baking powder, and is unrelated to computer hardware.
Dell dimension e521 when to replace battery?
E521 is the EU code for aluminium sodium sulphate, a food additive, not a device model, so it has nothing to do with batteries.
E521 how to know if a comic is updated?
E521 denotes aluminium sodium sulphate in the EU additives list and isn’t related to comics or apps; I can help with its food uses or safety if needed.
