Sodium hydroxide is a strong base that can cause serious chemical burns. It is commly known as soda lye and its caustic nature makes it effective for use in drain cleaners
But perhaps you mean why it can't be used as a leavening agent. Both baking powder (which contains sodium bicarbonate) an yeast act by producing carbon dioxide gas. Sodium hydroxide cannot yield carbon dioxide in a chemical reaction and can in fact react with it.

How will a Fan assisted oven effect baking cakes and scones?
I find that whenever i bake with the fan on my cakes end up too done on the outside and not done enough inside. Dont know if its just me, but i always always always cook without the fan now, keep cakes in the bottom half of the oven and they always turn out lovely. I think if you dont have the option and have to use the fan just make sure you lower the temperature as the fan disperses the heat throughout the oven so it is consistently hot throuought.
