Make Soap at Home
I'm getting to make some homemade soap. I'm using a very simple and basic recipe, for
now, I exploit my very own homemade soap. And i am running low so I'm getting to make a fast
batch all you would like is obvious standard normal oil. Nothing fancy 100% lie this is often actually sold as drain opener but it's getting to be 100 percent line cup. Something to heat with tons of individuals uses the stovetop, but it's extremely hard to get the proper temperature.
This happens to have a dial to urge the precise. The temperature you would like to cook the soap
around 100 degrees so this makes it convenient and you would like safety goggles gloves long sleeves
and long trousers, When you do soap making because lye is extremely caustic and may melt your skin.
So when working with it stuff is extremely careful my recipe involves 16 ounces of oil very simple.
That's basically two cups again this is often a very very simple formula. I'm making here you would like to be very careful in working with lye you would like to live the water call at this case. We've just under eight ounces of water and I am going to measure two ounces of Y so zero out my scale here.
And you would like to have an honest kitchen scale and therefore the best. The thanks to doing that are to require an empty envelope you are doing not want to use metaL. We also don't want to use your good
kitchen utensils the lye is caustic and it will destroy what it touches. So again you should use gloves when handling line and I'm getting to measure two ounces here. That is two ounces now during this next step.
You must be very very careful there are fries. I'm actually standing behind the camera mix your lye into your water never pour the water into the lye put your lye into your water a touch. The bit at a time now you'll notice I'm using a stick I even have lost too many stirring spoons within the past to being dissolved.
And I learned to use a stick stir during a tiny tiny bit at a time you'll notice already this tiny little bit of lye is bubbling. Now, this gets extremely hot be very careful working with water and why there is a
reaction that goes on here.
I should also note you should have ventilation where you're employed. Just gives us some very poisonous gases.
I'm getting to set a thermometer inside and let that sit until it's right down to a hundred degrees. I would like to preheat the oil to a few hundred degrees with thermometers start at 160. So it is a little little bit of guesswork. It's a touch a bit worn it's old okay my oil is heated up now very slowly very carefully add
your lye mixture to your oil. Now it's just a matter of stirring continuously stirring until you get what's called trace. Now when that period comes, I'll show you what is important right now must continuously stir
this could take anywhere from 15 to twenty minutes to a half-hour. Sometimes longer depending on this example on behalf of me. It's always been different there are too many variables involved some people use an electric hand mixer for this process. It's your preference I do not wish to make a multitude of risk spelling.
I've been vigorously stirring for about 15 minutes now you'll notice the oil the mixture is getting thicker.
There are little particles floating in it. And it's little particles of soap forming you'll see some foams starting on the sides you can see tons more particles of soap forming inside here. It's getting there
you can see an entire lot more foam forming on the highest. Now there is a whole lot of froth on top just to point out you. It's more sort of a soup now that reminds me of a pumpkin soup.
