A: Baking soda acts as a chemical leavener. It reacts with an acid to produce carbon dioxide — or loads of bubbles — a process that allows cakes, cookies, and other baked goods to rise.
Having them in your freezer markedly increases your dinner options — they can enhance dishes such as scampi, paella, fried rice and gumbo. But if...

Read More »Baking soda is considered a versatile product for good reason. Here are just some of its many uses. As a Produce Wash Forget the pricey, fancy produce washes on the market. A simple baking soda and water soak for 12 to 15 minutes is enough to remove 80 and 96 percent of certain pesticides from apples — better than tap water alone or bleach. Baking soda helps degrade certain pesticides so they can be washed away. (16) As a Natural Cleaner A mixture of baking soda and water can be used as an effective, nonabrasive cleaner. One use: to wipe away old food residues from the inside of a refrigerator. You can also sprinkle baking soda down the drain with hot water to freshen up your pipes, clean your tubs, sinks, and shower curtain, and buff out scuff marks from floors. (18) Oh, and don’t forget, it’s a top-notch deodorizer. Sprinkle baking soda on a carpet, let it sit, and vacuum it — and the offending stink — up. To Safely Clean Pots and Pans When cooked food stays stuck to the pan, the American Cleaning Institute recommends adding baking soda to the pan, filling it with hot water, and soaking it for 15 to 30 minutes. The baking soda will help lift the crusty food pieces. (19) To Help Ease Heartburn For the occasional heartburn episode, add ½ teaspoon to ½ cup of water and drink. The alkaline baking soda will neutralize excess acid. (7) To Care for Your Teeth During Pregnancy Morning sickness happens. Along with the discomfort of queasiness, the stomach acid that goes along with vomiting can wear away at your tooth enamel. If you’re saddled with occasional or regular vomiting, rinse your mouth with 1 tsp of baking soda mixed with water. (21) You can also do this when sickness (like food poisoning) is causing vomiting. Treat Nail Infections If you have a mild nail infection, you may consider a baking soda and water soak, as baking soda has antifungal properties. (22) Ease Discomfort During Cancer Treatment Swishing your mouth with a combination of baking soda, salt, and water can help ease throat discomfort caused by radiation or chemotherapy. This mixture may also help prevent mouth sores from getting infected. Just be sure to gargle the solution — don’t swallow it. The American Cancer Society says to check with your cancer care team before using any mouth rinses as they can sometimes be harmful or make mouth sores worse. (23)

Read More »Add about 1/4 cup of salt to the water. Mix the salt into the water using a spoon until salt is dissolved. Place the frozen shrimp into the salt water solution. After about 10 minutes of the shrimp soaking and thawing in the salt water solution you can start by using your fingers to peel away the shells.
I like this method because you are handling two jobs at once. You're cleaning the shrimp and defrosting/thawing as well. Directions for cleaning shell on deveined shrimp: Start by placing cold water into a large bowl filled with ice. Reason for the ice is to assure the water remains cold, because we're going to allow the shrimp to soak for about a total of 15 minutes. Add about 1/4 cup of salt to the water. Mix the salt into the water using a spoon until salt is dissolved.
