It is safe, it just may not give as much lift as fresh would.

Yes, it's still effective. Refrigeration will not change the properties of baking soda.
theraflu powder does it still work after expiration date
yes you can but the coat around the hot dog will not be as this thick as it is with baking powder or baking soda
Yeast may still be effective after its expiration date, but its potency and performance may decrease. It's best to use fresh yeast for optimal results in baking.
if you use old baking powder, the cake will not rise properly. To test the baking powder to see if its still good, put one teaspoon of baking powder in a glass, add a little water, if it foams real good, you can use it, otherwise throw it out and get new.
Yes, but you should only use 1/3 of the amount of baking powder specified, when switching to baking soda. i.e do not substitute on a 1:1 basis. Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar. So although baking soda is not exactly the same as baking powder, it is also far stronger. Your cookies will turn out slightly differently, but using baking soda is better than leaving out both leavening agents, since this will result in really hard cookies. Alternatively, use self-raising flour and miss out baking powder and soda.
To test the effectiveness of baking powder, you can mix a small amount with water or vinegar. If it fizzes and produces bubbles, it is still effective. If it does not react, it may have lost its potency and should be replaced.
Yes. Just be sure to omit the baking soda, baking powder, and/or salt.
No, but Roger's mother grew up in Calumet and her mother was still living in Calumet while Roger was a teenager living in Fargo, North Dakota. Roger would play baseball at the ballpark there in Calumet.
Bicarbonate of soda (aka, baking soda, sodium bicarbonate) and baking powder are both "leavening" agents. Certain recipes call for baking powder while others call for baking soda due to the amount of rising that will occur and the conditions that are required to cause these reactions. When using baking soda (bicarb) alone, an acidic ingredient is needed to cause the chemical reaction, such as buttermilk, cocoa, etc, however if the recipe calls for baking powder, using baking soda alone will not give you the same effect and the baked good may not rise as fully as intended (although it is still possible to do this). To solve this you can easily make your own baking powder. To make your own baking powder, mix 2 parts cream of tartar with 1 part baking soda (bicarb). This will give you the "double acting" effect you find in most commercial baking powders.
Yes. There is baking powder and baking soda in Bisquick, both of which actually lose potency and will no longer allow the product to rise. The other ingredients can become rancid but it takes an awfully long time.
