Bicarbonate of Soda is also known as sodium bicarbonate and baking soda. It's a leavening agent used in many baked goods, such as cookies, cakes and muffins.
You can store Bi-carb of soda, unopened, at room temperature for up to 18 months.
After opening, it will store at room temperature for about 6 months for the best quality.
To test if your bicarbonate of soda is still active, spoon some into a bowl, and add a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar. If it starts to fizz immediately and vigorously, the bicarbonate of soda will still work well in your recipes.
When boiling rice, stir a little olive oil or cooking oil into the water. This simple hack prevents the grains from clumping and sticking together, making sure each grain of rice remains separate and fluffy. It's a small step but it makes a big difference.
