How do you replace cornstarch with tapioca?
To replace cornstarch with tapioca, use the same amount of tapioca starch as you would cornstarch in your recipe. Keep in mind that tapioca may give a slightly different texture, often resulting in a chewier consistency. Additionally, tapioca may require a bit more liquid, so adjust your recipe accordingly if needed. When thickening sauces, mix tapioca starch with cold liquid before adding it to the hot mixture to prevent clumping.
Can you make oobleck with baking soda and water?
No, oobleck is typically made with cornstarch and water. Baking soda and water would not create the same non-Newtonian fluid consistency as cornstarch and water.
Can you use baking soda instead of tapioca starch?
Baking soda is not at all similar to tapioca starch, so you would get a very different result if you replaced one with the other. A more logical substitution for tapioca starch would be corn starch.

No, oobleck is made with a combination of cornstarch and water. Flour and water mixed together would create a paste-like substance, not the same non-Newtonian fluid characteristics as oobleck.
What do you need to add to oobleck to make it just a solid?
To make oobleck just a solid, you would need to add a material like cornstarch or starch in higher proportions to the liquid (water) until it forms a consistent, solid-like structure that no longer flows like a liquid.
Can anything replace arrowroot when baking?
Arrowroot is a thickener, so possible substitutes would be cornstarch or tapioca. Potato starch would be another possibility. In some desserts or clear cold dishes, one might experiment with gelatin in place of arrowroot.
Can you substitute tapioca starch for tapioca flour?
I make pies for a living, and YES it can be a substitute. I do work with frozen fruit, so I made up a mixture of cornstarch, flour, and gelatin, since we have no tapioca. For one pie it should be 3tbs gelatin, 4 tbs cornstarch, and 4 tbs A.P. flour. Hope that helped!
How many pounds of cornstarch do you add to 5 gallons of water to make a non-newtonian mixture?
the mixture for Oobleck (non newtonian fluid) is about 1.5 parts cornstarch for each part water so for 5 gallons of water one needs 7.5 gallons of corn starch. which means you would need a container that can hold 12.5 gallons. I'm assuming you want to fill a 5 gallon container full of oobleck so if you want to fill a 5 gallon conatiner with oobleck you have to use the relationship 1.5X+X=5. where x is the gallons of water and 1.5x is the gallons of oobleck. which would give us 3 gallons of cornstarch and 2 gallons of water. so given that cornstarch weighs .333lbs per cup. 3 gallons * 4quarts/gallon *4cups/quart = 48 cups 48cups * .333 lbs/cup ~ 16 lbs so 16 lbs of cornstarch to 2 gallons of water will fill a 5 gallon container with oobleck. you may need to use a little more or less, but this should get you close to the right mixture.
Can you cut a ribbon of oobleck with scissors?
It depends on how much water or cornstarch you put in. If you put too much water in it would be too much of a liquid. If you put too much cornstarch it won't even move. So if you put just the right amount of cornstarch and water you will able to cut it.
Can you substitute corn starch for flour in a pie crust?
