Thanks for that tip! I've never rebatched and wanted to try it. I have soap I made that smells really good, but I must've used too much colorant since the bubbles are a lovely blue. Gonna see what I can do with it. Fingers crossed!I am a huge fan of oven rebatching. Cover it in a pan and leave it alone in the oven (or on a heating pad) until it is all melted. Then stir in fragrance, and into the mold it goes.
Sometimes I do stick-blend it a bit to get it more uniform, but even when I don't, the mosaic or terrazo look is kinda cool. Would love to see how yours turns out.
When I rebatch in my turkey roaster pan, I definitely cover it. I've done it both ways in the oven, and prefer covering it so that it doesn't dry out.
Nope. You're not wrong. Spot on, actually. There are "no hard & fast rules" but the above referenced thread offers guidelines that generally apply to most soaps.
Wow, 350F and melted in 15 minutes? I'm definitely going to try that next time!
Hold on - I wouldn't do that if I were you. I think it went too fast. I have a small electric oven & the vessel I batched in was big so I put it on the lowest shelf, which I would have rather not done. I'd continue to do what you've done so far.
Sorry. I hate it when I do that. I stand corrected.
Well, I like pushing the boundaries, and I like getting things done quickly. So I don't mind potentially sacrificing a pot of rebatch by heating it on higher heat for shorter time. Worst case scenario, the oven gets really, REALLY clean.
