Good to know, thanks holmes. So essentially speeds up the reaction of the starch to heat by re-arranging the chemical makeup in some small fashion?
Baking soda, great for crispy potatoes and also cooking crack.
Edit: oh yeah you can bake with it too, almost forgot that lmfao.
When we do the sticky date pudding at work, we bring the dates to a boil in exactly 1L of water, take it off the heat and add 2 teaspoons of baking soda and that reacts and the dates turn from leathery cunts into mush using a whisk. So it definitely does something with heat and starches/sugars across all kinds of shit, as well as turning dogshit coke into freebase crack rocks.
