What is the difference between arrowroot powder and cornstarch?
Arrowroot is starch obtained from a variety of tropical plants, while cornstarch is starch obtained from corn (of course). They are both used as thickening agents in a variety of recipes, and they are somewhat interchangeable.Usually grain starches (like cornstarch) are better for baked goods, since root starches tend to break down at high temperatures, and diary dishes, like certain sauces and soups. Root starches like arrowroot work best in acidic recipes, dishes that require no or low heat, or when added after cooking. Cornstarch is more caloric than arrowroot, but it's also much less expensive and more widely available.
Can i substitute regular flour for arrowroot powder or tapioca flour in a bread pudding recipe/?

Is arrow root powder a better thickener than corn starch?
It depends on your use and preference. I will start by saying if you use cornstarch, look for organic brands, as corn is a highly GM crop.Cornstarch needs to be dissolved in cold water prior to adding it to hot liquids… if you don’t, cornstarch clumps. Arrowroot doesn’t have that requirement. Cornstarch also gelatinizes once it cools, which is unpleasant for some people. I personally don’t care and find that heating while whisking the gravy (for example) returns it to the previously smooth consistency.Tapioca flour/starch is another great thickener, should you need an alternative to cornstarch or arrowroot. Thanks for the A2A, I hope this helps!
Can I substitute alternative flour for cooking turkey in bag?
Has anyone ever cooked turkey in the bag? I wanted to cook my Christmas Turkey in a bag this year, but then when I went to put it in there, I looked at the directions and it said to put flour in it to avoid sticking. I have a severe wheat allergy, so obviously I didn't have any flour and prepare it that way, but I wasn't sure if I could substitute rice flour or corn starch for the flour next year. Does anyone have any ideas?

Substitute cornstarch in sweet & sour sauce?
The tapioca starch would be best if the sauce doesn't require cooking. Sometimes when heated too much, tapioca starch can give an off or burnt flavor. It is usually added at the end of a dish to thicken and add lots of glossy appearance. If the sauce is not going to be heated flour is a poor choice because raw flour taste is hideous in sauces. Arrowroot powder would be a good one to use here, too. If the sauce is a cooked sauce, flour would be ok but might make the finished sauce appear cloudy.
