Can you use baking soda from the fridge for baking cookies?
Q. I want to bake cookies but the only baking soda I have is the one in the fridge. Can I use that?
Asked by Amy T - Thu Mar 22 14:41:51 2007 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments

A. sure, as long as it is still "fresh". To test, put some on a spoon and add a few drops of vinegar. If it bubbles and fizzes, its fine. If not, its too old and will not work in your cookies.

Any difference to baking temperatures if baking container is of different size?
Q. If a recipe states 150degrees Celcius for 1 hour in a 8" baking tin, is there a difference if I use 2 smaller baking tins? How should I adjust?
Asked by momofash1997 - Thu Aug 23 05:11:39 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No change to the temperature, but the time it takes to bake needs to be adjusted. If the tin is smaller, then you should bake for about 45 mins, and check, it may need slightly longer or slightly less.

Do I bake bread rolls in the oven at the same temperature as advised for baking a whole loaf?
Q. Am following a recipe for a wholemeal loaf but want to make rolls instead. Is it ok to stick to the same recipe? Do I need to adjust the oven temperature and time when baking? Thanks!
Asked by coco - Fri Jun 1 16:35:50 2007 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments

A. The temp should stay the same. But check the rolls after about 20 minutes (it depends on the size of them of course). Check that the bottoms are nicely browned and they feel light (not heavy, like they did when they were dough - this is because most of the moisture will have baked out of them). They should be done 5 to 10 minutes sooner than an entire loaf would be. cheers

If i want to bake a cake, and only have plain flour not selfraising, would baking soda work?
Q. me and my friend are going to bake a cake, but the only problem is that we dont have and selfraising flour. we only have plain flour. if i added baking soda, the the plain flour, would it work?
Asked by Smazie M - Tue Jul 29 08:25:34 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. baking soda needs an acid to work or your cake will be flat and bitter. I have never used self rising flour and I have been baking for 40 years so that tells me you are in a different country. Regular flour works just fine, your cake will be a bit heavier. google baking soda substitutions and see if that gets you some help.

Why do we put baking soda in a recipe?
Q. I am trying to create this recipe, and it is not quite where I want it to be. I am wondering if adding baking soda to the mix will make it just the way I want it. They are bagels with eggs, oil, salt, flour and then you boil them. Let them dry out, then bake them. They come out soft, I want a little crunch to it. If I put baking soda, can I boil them? Thanks you guys are great. C w Thanks for the recipe. I will try it. I love bagels.
Asked by Niente - Thu Mar 19 21:39:55 2009 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Baking soda is bicarbonate of soda in powder form and is used as a leavening agent in baking. It reacts with acid (buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar etc.) creating carbon dioxide which causes the baked goods to puff up. Baking soda will have nothing to react with if you add it to your recipe. Double acting baking POWDER will react to the heat of boiling, but I don't know if you want the extra lift this will cause. You might try brushing a lightly beaten egg over the top of the bagel before you bake it.

How do I get baking soda out of the steam holes in my iron?
Q. OK, so I needed to clean the sole plate of my iron. I Googled "clean an iron" and found a web page that advised using a paste of baking soda and water to clean the sole plate. I did that, and the sole plate is clean, but the baking soda paste stuck in the steam holes in the sole plate. I've already spent half an hour with a toothpick trying to get the baking soda out. There's got to be a better way!
Asked by Riki G - Mon Aug 13 00:28:40 2007 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Get an old towel, fill the iron with water and a bit of viniger, and crank it to it's highest setting. Then iron the towel until the water runs out and this should clean the holes out. keep doing this til it is to your likings. If that doesn't work you can always try a toothbrush or pipecleaner . Hope this Helps ;)

What is the difference in baking with microwave oven and a typical oven?
Q. Well, I am totally confused about baking stuff in ovens. The ones I usually see on TV and read on recipes about baking is that it should be put in the "OVEN" for about blahblahblah minutes. I don't know if it would be okay to use our microwave oven since we don't have the big oven at home. If it is possible, please give me the difference if I bake stuff in the microwave than just using the big oven. Thanks. :D

A. Baked goods (and cooked foods) will never be as good in a microwave. It cooks too fast, and intensively. You'll have harder areas (and gluey textures in baked potatoes). You need the air circulation all around it too, to insure even cooking/baking. Microwaves are intended to heat up and defrost foods, not do actual "cooking" in them

Can baking powder be a substitute for baking soda?
Q. I accidently got baking powder instead of baking soda and I used it in funnel cakes when it called for baking soda, and I didn't taste any difference. But if I'm making cookies, is it sgoing to be a disaster? And in case someone doesn't know, funnel cakes are fried in veggie oil.
Asked by Mika - Fri Aug 21 22:02:48 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No it's not, they react to different things. One reacts to acid the other something else. When they react it makes the baked good rise (As would yeast.) the reason it worked before is it probably had both. But don't use it with cookies, they will get all bubbley and liquidy.

Is there any difference between baking powder and baking soda?
Q. I have a bread recipe which requires "baking soda",can I use baking powder?
Asked by jassymink - Thu Sep 27 15:32:20 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. YES there is a difference. NO, you can not use baking powder in place of baking soda. Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda, starch, and at least one slightly acidic compound such as cream of tartar that works as a leavening agent in baking by releasing carbon dioxide when mixed with a liquid, such as milk or water. Baking soda is pure Sodium Bicarbonate, a naturally occurring white crystalline substance with a number of household uses. When it comes to baking, sodium bicarbonate is the leavening agent that helps turn out light, airy breads and cakes of great heights.

A. No, the two are not interchangable. They have to do with balancing acids in the foods you cook. Unfortunately you will not be able to use baking soda instead of powder, but you may be able to find a recipe that does not call for baking powder.

Can you make cookies without shortening, baking powder or baking soda?

In baking, what's the difference between beating and mixing?
Q. I'm baking cookies... thank you everyone!!
Asked by Debtom - Sun Dec 30 14:59:31 2007 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments

A. mixing is stirring it up until it is throughly blended. Beating is more like whipping it, a faster mix that beats all the ingredients together. You will beat the eggs, butter and sugar together.. you want it to be a nice creamy fluffy consistency.. you will mix the flour in to it.. a steady stirring to get it well blended together.

After baking cookies, what is the best way to keep them fresh for Christmas?
Q. I would like to start baking today.
Asked by Taraand Willie4EVER - Wed Dec 12 12:13:51 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. My grandma would bake hers and store them in airtight containers and put them in the refrigerator or she would store them out on the back porch. The porch was screened in and she didn't have alot of room in the freezer and since it was cold outside she would take advantage of it. You could also mix all your doughs up and then freeze them and make them a few days before Christmas. That way they will stay really fresh and keep you from eating all them before Christmas.

How long after baking does shortbread cookies expire?
Q. I baked a batch of shortbread cookies today and I was wondering when do shortbread cookies normally expire? How long does it take after the baking for it to expire? Thanks so much!
Asked by Fire & Ice - Fri Jul 3 10:56:41 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. As long as you store them in an airtight container or firmly wrap them in clear wrap you should be able to keep them about 10 days. If you're really worried about it though, why not freeze some? Again just firmly wrap them (airtight = no freezer burn) and put them in the freezer. Take them out about an hour before you want to serve them. Good luck and keep baking yummies.
