About Baking Soda What You Didn’t Know

Actually this post does not need a rough draft because it is not a recipe but it is about an ingredient in some of the recipes on this blog and also that it is also a powerful cleaning agent along with white vinegar which is also natural and non toxic. What you are unaware of is that I seen here online about anothter hack which has been helpful. I have tried it out and it is amazing.

What this hack is if you use 1 tiny pinch in the meat if you are frying it that the water in the meat itself will evaporate while cooking. I put this to the test the very last time I fried some steak for steak wraps and it works like a charm. It also softens the cellulose in the beans making it softer when it is cooking. I usually add a pinch to the beans while soaking and then rince the beans just before I am cooking them. This is so the beans do not form a lot of gas.

There is nothing more embarrasing then letting out a large fart in a croud of people, lol. Some cultures thinks this is shameful, especially Pathan people. Also I want to add if you are going to fry the meat and want to make gravy then it is advised not to add the tiny pinch of baking soda. If you are going to cook with it then I suggest you use a tiny amount because you do not want to taste baking soda as a dominant flavor.

Some people take a tsp and add it to a glass of water if they end up with a sour stomach. I used it in warm water and washed my youngest daughter’s bottom with it when she had diaper rash. An old lady told me about this and it clears it up faster then the diaper rash creams. Some people put a little baking soda in their bath water to make the bath more refreshing. It is a great deoderizer too for cat litter boxes, drains, laundry, refridgerators, dishes, microwaves and freezer chests. It is also a fantastic degreaser as I said before. A solution of baking soda and water also takes the itch out of mosquito bites too. Actually in the background is my two teir lazy suzan tray and spice caddy in the background. I put the open box of baking soda in a zip baggy to keep it clean and the roaches out of it.

Do not forget to keep it protected because this goes in your food and other uses you may have. You can fact check me if you please and it is totally up to you. Some people even brush their teeth with baking soda. I have done it and also there are products on the market that has baking soda along with other ingredients in it that is not so great for your health. A simple box of baking soda is amazing and you can use it for a bunch of different things.
