Baking Soda vs Baking Powder, What's the Difference?

[@BakerBettie]

Hi all! This is my first video in my new space. I'm still getting settled and working out my setup! I'll be back soon with more regular content!

[@raytanguay1365]

nice shirt baker bettie u have good info.for your baking

[@kridanina]

loved it your video. thanks.

[@nimishachaurasia5142]

I just stumbled upon your one of the video today, and I am obsessed! Specially your fundamentals of baking. I am not a professional Baker like you, but I have tried my hands on alot of baking recipes n I have barely failed. But, I actually never understood what is the use of specific items in baking. So thanks to you, that I can now actually understand the science behind the ingredients you use ❤️ uh go girl!!

[@paula4303]

thank you so much for explaining this it was super helpful!! i never understood why milk and lemon juice were considered a subsitute for buttermilk until now

[@sternits]

This was very helpful. I’m a chemist and like to cook. I love learning the chemistry of cooking. One note for you, the term is base not basic. Use the term base like you use the term acid. The term basic is used like the term acidic. Thank you again for the video.

[@BakerBettie]

Thanks for the info!

[@louisef.decoteau3510]

I love your teaching style! It’s wonderful to understand the science! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@BakerBettie]

I'm so glad you find it helpful!

[@kalcrow5194]

I just love it when information is presented in such a clear manner!

[@BakerBettie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JellyBeans944]

Fascinating! Now I understand why some recipes call for cream of tartar!!

[@Ladythyme]

Interesting! this was great.. finally a simplistic and thorough explanation..TY!

[@somysadr]

Best explanation ever. I m always confused between the two

[@Pollypole]

This is so helpful! Loving your videos, as I never learned any of this in school. P.S. I adore your shirt!

[@tenshiai1462]

you don't know how thankful I am upon finding your channel. thank you so much Ma'am Bettie❤️

[@deborahvoll3497]

[@BakerBettie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

who,s better to drink powder or soda

[@tina8796]

OMG. Thank you so much for this explanation. I've seen several videos on this topic and this is BY FAR THE BEST ONE. Thanks again. Excellent 🏆

[@kavinilavu7716]

Hi Bettie.. Thanks for the info.. Banana bread recipe usually calls for baking soda.. Could you please clarify whether banana is an acid or the science behind adding baking soda to it.. Thanks

[@BakerBettie]

It depends on the recipe. If the recipe calls for an acidic ingredient like brown sugar, honey, buttermilk, or sour cream then the baking soda will interact with that. But bananas are not acidic.

[@11golfnut11]

That was an excellent presentation. As always Thank you

[@BakerBettie]

So glad you enjoyed it

[@rupalilekhi2237]

Thankyou! finally understood the difference precisely.

[@liam-dr3vv]

Thanks so much for the vid as always! Not a baking question but I have been seeing Fried Chicken recipes where buttermilk is used but no Baking Soda. What’s the purpose of the buttermilk then? Thx.

[@nour_n_dot]

Likely for the creamy texture, sweet-ish flavour and/or its wetness being helpful in holding on to a coat of breading. I don’t know for sure, but I hope this helps. 🙂

[@irenevelasco9682]

Hi miss Bettie. I just want to ask, why my muffin cake had become bitter taste? But I follow your amount ingredients in your recipe . What thing I've done wrong?

[@daisyhu127]

Thank you for the informative details. Now I know why my muffin tasted bitter! (I only put baking soda and milk). I will try to add yogurt next time! 👍👍

[@BakerBettie]

You're welcome! I have a great muffin recipe on my site if you'd like to try it.

[@knavyac9974]

Thank you for your amazing explanation, which makes so much sense.

[@BakerBettie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AndyLambg]

Love ur video tat i jus stumbled on to find baking powder substitute. U explained very well n clear. Thk u so much for this n subd ❤

[@cherylcalifornia125]

This was awesome. Yes, very informative. You explained everything really well. Thank you so much.

[@BakerBettie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Purkestan]

clear, informative and to the point. thank you

[@acoast84]

Seems to me that baking powder would be always a safer option to use if unsure which one to choose?

[@JKFitz]

Wonderful video & Love this information !!! The only little critique I would have is in the beginning of this video I was really excited to learn about the differences but I kept wondering what acidic ingredients were.... So maybe in your future videos could you say something to let us know you will be giving some examples later in the video. For me I would have been able to concentrate better on the information knowing you planned to talk more about that. I really appreciate you sharing your intelligence!! 👌

[@chickadeeacres3864]

This is the kind of stuff we need to learn. Thank you so much.

[@BakerBettie]

You bet!

[@morganelochu4137]

Thank you, I love your t shirt.

[@BakerBettie]

Thanks!

[@bulyabajean9952]

Very useful

[@onoone58]

Im still a bit confused here. I understand now what the difference in both are but WHY USE BOTH. Why not just use more baking powder if you need more rise and not use both. Seems like baking soda is never needed.???

[@gloriathornton5525]

Why would you put baking powder in a dry rub

[@themusiccovenant]

Excellent

[@terriewordal6053]

why do some people add baking soda to fruits?

[@BakerBettie]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Fruit juice? Jam?

Hi, baking soda and baking powder are not interchangeable. Here is some more information that may be helpful: bakerbettie.com/baking-powder-and-baking-soda/

I don't have baking soda and baking powder 😬😬😬😬😬😤😤😡😡

[@joshuabrande2417]

I find adding too much baking powder in recipes will give it a metallic taste. Also, baking powder gets old and loses its effectiveness.
