I've been looking around online and through books and have seen conflicting things. So are you doing that in a double boiler, or is the pan directly on the heat?

I looked at craft stores and I can't find any. Also, does the oil seep through the paper and make it look splotchy? I think I might try adding some dried rosemary to this recipe, any suggestions on that? Man, I'm needy. Where do you get the purple paper you wrap the soap in?

If the implement were licked before washing, it would react with the water in the mouth and burn. However, once the instrument has been immersed in water or run through the dishwasher, the reacting is all done, so it's safe to use on food. Any bar with castor oil gets to be a shampoo bar 'round here. That super creamy foam is the only distinction between hair care bars and not here. We're head to toe folks. Check out our post on Quick, Natural, Head to Toe Clean on how to use bar soap from top to bottom. Lye is dangerous in that it reacts strongly with water.

I wondered if anything, such as the pans and the immersion blender, that contacts lye would be fit to go back to food. Also, have you made any shapoo bars? Love your site.
