Hi All...:wave:
While waiting for my Crock pot to come, I have a couple of questions regarding hp...
1) I have read that in order not to result in a hard/thick unmanagable soap, it is wise not to water discount. If you agree with this, then how much you consider norma water amount?
2) If I SF when soap is ready -gelling completed, are there a list of oils that are preferably used "raw" (meaning without "cooking") in order to avoid oil rancidity? or do you consider wise to add a small amount of Vit E at the ending stage as an oil antioxidant?
3) Is there a BEST temp to work the hot process? Meaning, is there a border line in temps when dealing with hp?
4) I have also read that overcooking is a no no... How can this be avoided when most sites I read cook at low? Cooking at low on a crock pot can result in a overcooked soap? Assuming the soaper indeed has realized the end stage of saponification...
5) Is it true that lavender buds do not brown with hp since the lye is dead?
6) Is there a minimum temp to handle hp ready soap in order to avoid difficulty when trying put into mold?
Sorry for the many questions... :Kitten Love:
Thank you...
