Difference between baking powder and baking
soda.
Baking soda and baking powder both leaven baked goods. Baking
expert Zach Young explains the difference during his Cranberry
Scones class. Baking soda is activated by the acid in the recipe
(like yogurt or buttermilk). Baking powder, on the other hand,
is typically activated twice: first when it is added to a wet
batter and second when you put it in the oven.

Baking Powder vs. Baking Soda
When baking powder is mixed with salt and
coated on chicken it dries out the skin, leaving it crisp and
crunchy. It happens because the addition of the baking powder
raises the pH level in the chicken, allowing the peptide bonds
in the skin to break down, thus letting the skin get more crisp
and brown.
Meat is treated with baking soda dissolved in water to keep it tender. Briefly soaking meat in a solution of baking soda and water raises the pH on the meat's surface, making it more difficult for the proteins to bond excessively, which keeps the meat tender and moist when it is cooked. Tenderizing with a baking soda solution is faster than using a saltwater brine. Meat only has to sit in a baking soda solution for 15 to 20 minutes.
