Leavening Agents, Baking Soda

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a fast-acting leavener; density lets you convert scoops to grams precisely.

Weigh for consistent rise in batters; avoid moisture and acids until mixing.

Storage & tools

• Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F/32°C).
• Keep the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C).
• Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill faster and more safely.
• Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.

Store airtight, cool, and dry; replace if clumping or older than recommended shelf life.
