Greetings all,
I have decided to go ahead and start making my own soap as of next week after my honey soap made from Dr. Bronners turned into mead (check the thread out here for why you shouldn't follow random recipes on the internet http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=59055) . I am gathering everything I still need to do the pharmaceutical method of soap making and have run across an important question that I can't find an answer for.
When you make soap, are the utensils used for making it (pots, pans, stick blender, spoons, etc.) ever usable again for food? I ask this mainly because I have an expensive stainless steel immersion blender that I use on a regular basis with food that I figured I would use for tracing my soap in order to save money and not have to buy a second stick blender. Will that stick blender ever be safe to use with food again after coming into contact with the corrosive mixture? The same question would also apply to anything else used during the soap making process such as pots.
I am already planning on spending a lot of money on buying bulk oils so saving some money here or there is a definite bonus for me if that stick blender would end up being fine after use.
And a second question I had. What type of pots can I safely use to dissolve my potash and glycerin? Is there any type of pot I should avoid?
Thanks
