Description
Achieve professional-grade results in every batch with Fleischmann's Pinnacle Baking Powder. Distributed by ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary logistics hub, this 5 kg (11 lbs) bulk pail is the definitive choice for chefs, bakers, and catering managers who prioritize consistency. Fleischmann’s has been a leader in leavening for over 150 years, and the Pinnacle series is specifically formulated for the rigors of food service. Unlike standard single-acting powders, this double-acting formula provides a controlled release of carbon dioxide, ensuring your batters and doughs maintain their structure from the mixing bowl to the cooling rack.
Why It Works
- Double Acting Performance: Provides a two-stage leavening process for maximum volume and a fine, uniform texture.
- Bulk 5 kg Foodservice Format: Offers exceptional value and reduces packaging waste in high-volume commercial bakeries and cafes.
- Aluminum-Free Profile: Crafted to ensure a clean, neutral taste without the "tinny" or bitter metallic aftertaste often found in lower-quality powders.
- Superior Shelf Stability: Packed in a heavy-duty, resealable plastic pail that protects the active ingredients from moisture and humidity.
- Consistent Potency: Meticulously tested to ensure every scoop delivers the exact same leavening power, batch after batch.
- Fast Calgary Logistics: Stocked locally in Alberta, we provide rapid, tracked shipping across Canada to keep your pantry fully supplied.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Double Acting" actually mean?
It means the powder reacts twice. Once when it touches liquid (like milk or water) and a second time when it is exposed to heat in the oven. This gives you a more reliable rise and a lighter final product.
How is this different from Baking Soda?
Baking Soda is pure sodium bicarbonate and needs an acid to work. Fleischmann's Baking Powder contains both the soda and the acidifying agents already built-in, so it works in recipes that don't have acidic ingredients like lemon or buttermilk.
Is this product gluten-free?
Fleischmann’s Pinnacle Baking Powder is made with corn starch and is generally considered gluten-free. Always refer to the physical pail for the most current allergen and certification statements.
Does this baking powder leave a metallic aftertaste?
No. Pinnacle is a high-grade professional formula designed to provide a neutral flavor profile, ensuring the taste of your premium butter, vanilla, and chocolate shines through.
How can I tell if my baking powder is still active?
Stir half a teaspoon of the powder into a small cup of hot water. If it fizzes and bubbles vigorously, it is still active and ready for use.
How should I store the 5 kg pail?
Keep it in a cool, dry area away from steam or stovetops. The resealable lid on the 5 kg pail is designed to keep moisture out, which is vital for maintaining the powder's shelf life.
