Dick;
That sounds like our old Army mess hall in Babenhausen. The cooks got a drum
of baking powder delivered and so the next morning they made biscuits.
Unfortunately, the stuff should have gone to the laundry instead of the mess
hall-- it was a drum of sodium bichlorite (bleach) instead of sodium
bicarbonate (baking powder). The biscuits were awful but they were the
whitest biscuits that we'd ever seen!

Subject: Using the Kitchen oven
I gotta go along with Russ. Back when I was in Germany in the Army, I was
trying to clean some carburetors. Back then, you couldn't get simple stuff
like gunk and carburetor cleaner in Germany. I got them as clean as I could
in diesel fuel, hosed them off with water, then decided to try Easy Off Oven
Cleaner. It was the kind that said get the oven hot. So, I sprayed the
carburetor housings, and put them on a cookie sheet in the oven at 425
degrees for 30 minutes (like chocolate chip cookies!). The smell started all
at once, and no amount of fans, open windows, or anything else would clear
the stench from the kitchen. Six months later, breakfast buscuits still
tasted like Weber carburetors cleaned with Easy Off!

I can testify from experience that this approach is not fail-safe for some

automotive work. Using the home oven for the curing of thermoset plastics,
for example,
elicits a lot of nose-twitiching-- progressing to delicate snorts-- then to
high-pitched
verbal abuse-- when the oven owner returns home.
