From the omnipresent box in the fridge to the teaspoonful that helps your cookies and cakes rise, baking soda is certainly a kitchen mainstay. Also known as sodium bicarbonate, it is a naturally alkaline (read: basic, aka non-acidic) substance (via Everyday Health). When combined with an acid, like vinegar, this unassuming white powder causes an explosive reaction that has animated no small number of volcanic science fair projects.
In addition to its ability to stand in for magma, baking soda is a bit of a culinary superhero. It can leaven baked goods, neutralize stomach acid, wick away odors, remove stubborn stains, and more.
Since a box of baking soda lasts a pretty long time (about 18 months, according to the USDA), it's rarely on weekly shopping lists, and that means that home cooks can occasionally be confronted with a recipe calling for a scant ⅛ teaspoon of the stuff, only to find the cupboards bare of that familiar orange box. So, what should you do when you're halfway through a pancake, biscuit, or cookie recipe sans baking soda? Well, first off, don't panic. And second, seek out a substitute from our list below.
