Just like distinguishing baking soda from baking powder.
- philwelch 16y agoHave you ever eaten something baked by someone who missed that distinction? It is an unpleasant experience.
- blackguardx 16y agoBaking powder has baking soda as an ingredient.
- zbanks 16y agoBaking soda = sodium bicarbonate = a base Baking powder = a base + a (dry) acid (+ an anti-caking agent) Baking soda lowers acidity of foods. Baking powder, however, will create air bubbles whenever exposed to moisture. ("Double-acting" versions create a second wave of bubbles after being heated to around 150F. This is actually kind of a Big Deal.)
