Baking soda and baking powder are ingredients found in almost every kitchen. They are usually handy because they are useful not only when cooking and baking, but also when cleaning various surfaces. But what are the differences between them? Check whether baking powder and baking powder can be used interchangeably.
What is the difference between baking powder and baking soda? Keep this in mind when baking
Not everyone knows this, but baking soda is one of the components of baking powder. It is also enriched with diphosphates and starch. Thanks to this, it works great as a leavening agent and is a ready-made, complete addition. In the case of baking soda, there is no ingredient that activates it, so along with the powder, you need to add a little vinegar or lemon juice to the baking. We often find that both powder and baking soda are added to the mass. Why? Then the dough will rise evenly and brown perfectly.
Baking powder and baking soda. They are also excellent at home cleaning
It is also worth remembering that both baking soda and baking soda can be used when cleaning at home. How are they different in this case? Of course, the price. We pay PLN 6 for 1 kg of baking soda, while for a similar package of baking powder we have to spend about PLN 12. That’s why baking soda is most often used when cleaning at home. However, it cannot be denied that both it and baking powder work similarly. Not only will they help whiten fabrics, but they will also be great for refreshing surfaces and removing burns when we prepare a cleaning paste from them.
