Sodium carbonate

2010-09-16 20:58:08.855226+02 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

Harold McGee on using sodium carbonate rather than lye for flavoring baked goods, and you can make the stronger alkali sodium carbonate from sodium bicarbonate, baking soda, by baking it on foil for 250 to 300°F for an hour.

(Which will also come in handy for when we start using red cabbage juice as a pH indicator for various chemistry experiments)

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
