I'm HPing a batch in the crock right now. It started to expand too much and I had to transfer to larger crock pot . It seems really loose, usually by this stage it's quite waxy (been cooking for about an hour). I thought that was odd and then somewhere in the back of my head I seem to recall someone saying that Babassu oil does not behave very well in HP. Am I imagining this? My recipe is: water 15.2 oz, lye 5.848 oz
Babassu 30%
CO 20%
Palm 10%
Castor oil 5%
Shea 5%
Jojoba 5%
Cocoa Butter 5%
Lard 10%
Olive 10%
oatmeal and honey added at trace
Should I just keep cooking until I get that waxy mashed potato look? Will I ever get there?
