What are two main differences between a fat and an oil?
Fats and oils are made from two kinds of molecules: glycerol (a type of alcohol with a hydroxyl group on each of its three carbons) and three fatty acids joined by dehydration synthesis. Since there are three fatty acids attached, these are known as triglycerides. "Bread" and pastries from a "bread factory" often contain mono- and diglycerides as "dough conditioners." Can you figure out what these molecules would look like? The main distinction between fats and oils is whether they're solid or liquid at room temperature, and this, as we'll soon see, is based on differences in the structures of the fatty acids they contain.

I have been informed that baking powder is 1/4 baking soda & 5/8 cream of tartar the rest being made up of various other ingredients. Baking soda by itself is no good as it is alkaline and you need an acid so, depending on the recipe, you could try lemon juice, white vinegar or buttermilk.

What can you substitute for bran in a muffin recipe?
You can use black treacle or anything dark and sweet and syrupy. It's also OK to use malt in similar quantities.
The molasses has a certain taste of its own which isn't easily copied and molasses do provide a very rich source of iron.
But most of those recipes can take anything syrupy like Apple juice concentrate in thick syrup form. Or you could use honey if you like that flavour in a bran muffin.
Also you can use Agave Syrup a naturally sweet one that.
Some people use Maple Syrup. Molasses and Treacle though are very thick and messy to handle but a muffin won't be spoiled by any of the above substitutes. You just have to make sure you don't overdo or under-do the sweetness and put up with the strong taste of molasses not being present.

The chafing dish could be used at the table or used with a cover for keeping food warm on a buffet table.
