Hi!!! Putzii. Thank you for your warm welcoming. I am enjoying the forum very much. There is so much knowledge and advanced "soapers" in this forum willing to share their experiences and wisdom that is just amazing. Very nice meeting a colleague in nursing and soaping.
Thank you!!
Oh wow, you made me realized that batter didn't go trough the mash potatoes either and I did add yogurt but cold. Maybe because I kept taking the lid off to stir the batter (getting worried about volcano).
Thank you so much for bringing this up. I didn't pay attention to it.

Thank you AliOop, but now I am confused. Doesn't the Vaseline or gel stage comes after the mash potato stage? I am not sure if I got this right, but was it the apple sauce, mash potato and last Vaseline stage?

Hello everyone,
I am pretty new at making soaps and I've done a couple of CP batches without much trouble. I want to try the HP. I did it once on a Crockpot and it was a total mess. I had to discard it so I'm intimidated at buying another Crockpot and failing.
