I think they meant for the buttermilk trade out.
Like when you don't have buttermilk but can add some lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk to "make" buttermilk.

I know in GF cooking some recipes call for an addition of powdered citric acid or vinegar as stand alone ingredients however they don't have baking soda even in them.

I have read the sometimes there will not be enough acid in the recipe to react with the soda so adding more will help with the rise. If using baking soda and acid, the batter needs to get into the oven ASAP too since it starts rising before the heat hits it-- and if it sits for a bit, none of that dropping on the counter to remove air bubbles

That is a nice little one, thank you. Might put that one on my wish list. Want to share the one you are thinking about getting next?

My old one was clunky but I could tare the tray or any vessel first before before adding the item into the vessel.

This one is in my saved cart because it has a pull out screen and sometimes I weigh things that cover the screen on mine

And here's a picture of when I used with a batch of bun dough:

I weigh things like that too when I make them. It helps to keep things even in baking

I use my kitchen scale all the time. DH's favorite summer meal is hamburgers, so I buy Ground Sirloin when it is on sale and freeze 5 oz. burger patties for use whenever he feels the need to grill, lol.
I also use it when I freeze ground beef in 1 lb & 1.5 lb packages. Or repackage any meat that I buy bulk when it is on sale.
I use it to evenly divide dough for buns and rolls. Or my pizza dough recipe into 3rd's.
I use it when I make meatballs, I like them to all be 1 oz. (A little OCD there, lol.)
I use it to make a 2 layer cake with equal layers.
Now that I am on Weight Watchers, I should be measuring most of what I eat, so it will be placed front and center on the counter top.

I actually wrote the weight of my stainless steel mixing bowls on a sheet of paper hanging on the inside of my cupboard so it is easier to know the weight of the contents when I forget to tare the weight of the bowl.

I did not think I needed a scale for a long time but will not do without one now

I do not know about pop up blocker being turned on. How would I
designate which pop up I wish to open? Thanks Aria

That depends on which browser you use. You will need someone that uses that browser to explain it. I am still using an antiquated version of Firefox which is no longer supported.

Google Chrome is my Browser. I have a 2018 Computer. And I had
a problem with Google Chrome a few days ago with my U Tube. I disliked this one "foreign speaking guy" that never gave recipes. And I
Right clicked and a square came up with Block and I clicked on it...MISTAKE. LOST my U tube. I was able to download Microsoft Edge
and now I get just get my U tube on Microsoft Edge. I do not like it as well.
The Google was faster, did not have ads. The Microsoft Edge is slower
and has Ads. EEK. I tried to call Google Support....no live people, because of the Virus. Will be trying Google Support Team and try to have them
help me get my Google U Tube Back. Wish I knew more about this stuff.....like Bob. I know he knows a lot about Computers. Aria

Sorry, I can't help you. Google Chrome would make my computer permanently crash.

For my uses, I want a kitchen scale that can do at least 6 pounds - 10 is better. I want to be able to switch between ounces and pounds, as well as grams and kilograms.
It has to do a tare weight.
It needs to be easy to clean. My last one was a nightmare to clean if it got spilled on.
It needs to be easy to use and store.

The one I have goes up to 11 pounds and is easy to clean.
