Is Your Baking Powder Still Good?

In summary, baking powder can be tested for its effectiveness by mixing it with hot water and checking for vigorous bubbling. It does expire after 6 months to 1 year and should be stored in a cool, dry place. Expired baking powder may still be usable, but it's best to replace it for optimal results. Baking soda is not a suitable substitute for baking powder.
Thanks! Perfect tip to share with my text club this week.

1. How do I know if my baking powder is still good?

To test if your baking powder is still good, you can mix 1 teaspoon of baking powder with 1/3 cup of hot water. If it bubbles vigorously, it's still good to use. If it doesn't bubble at all, it's time to replace it.

2. Does baking powder expire?

Yes, baking powder does expire. It usually has a shelf life of about 6 months to 1 year, depending on the brand. After that, it will start to lose its potency and won't work as well in your baked goods.

3. Can I still use expired baking powder?

Technically, you can still use expired baking powder, but it may not give you the desired results in your baked goods. It's best to replace it with a fresh batch to ensure your recipes turn out correctly.

4. How should I store my baking powder?

Baking powder should be stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Exposure to moisture or humidity can cause it to clump and lose its effectiveness.

5. Can I substitute baking soda for baking powder?

No, baking soda and baking powder are not interchangeable. Baking powder contains an acid, which helps to create a reaction and make your baked goods rise. Baking soda requires an additional acid to activate it, so it's best to use the type of leavening agent specified in your recipe.
