Name three alkalis used in the kitchen?

1. Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate): A common leavening agent in baking, baking soda is also used for cleaning, deodorizing, and neutralizing acidity.

2. Lye (Sodium Hydroxide): Used for making soap and certain traditional foods like pretzels, lye is a very strong alkali and requires careful handling.

3. Potassium Hydroxide: Used in making certain types of soaps and detergents, potassium hydroxide is also found in some food additives and can be used to neutralize acidity in some recipes.

While these alkalis are commonly used in the kitchen, they should always be handled with caution. Always follow instructions carefully and never mix them with acidic ingredients without proper knowledge and safety precautions.
