thanks for tolerating all my newb questions/ issues
I’m going to make first batch tonight. I’m trying to decide how much or how little volume to make. I would like to make a smaller batch but doubt stick blender would be immersed in given pot and small volume.
I’ve also read where some will make such a tiny test batch HP soaps. Where I doubt SB would even be immersed.
I understand larger batches will require SB. But can you get away with just stirring or using whip with smaller batches? I also think about how soap was made historically pre stick blender.
My thoughts then wander to SB mixing a tiny test batch vs gallons. The action of a SB is exponentially greater in a small batch vs large batch. Is it possible to over mix/ blend especially with very small test batches?
