Recipe For Soap Making
Recipe For Soap Making

Homemade soap making lets you watch the fascinating process of fats and lye mixed with water turning to mild bar soap. It seems almost like magic... It is a simple process to perform, but it's easy to make mistakes. Here are a few of mine...
1. Too little scent.
Scent oils are expensive and it's tempting to use just a little less. Recipes often don't call for enough of the smelly oils either. If it doesn't smell, you either used oils that don't work in soapmaking or you used too little scent. Know what a soap that doesn't smell is called? Unscented soap, no matter how much expensive smelly oil you poured in it.
2. Poor recipe.
Getting the right proportions of each ingredient is critical. Some recipes are just flat wrong. Probably because the author of the recipe was ignorant about how to design soap. Watch who you listen to.
3. Mis-measure.
Small recipes are harder to get right than large ones. It is critical that all proportions are right. That's why recipes that use weights are better than recipes that use measures like cups and so forth.
4. Too little stirring.
Different recipes take different times to start hardening or tracing as it's called. You can design recipes that trace quickly, but in any case, you just keep stirring until the soap traces. It can take 10 minutes or it can take hours...
5. Wrong tools.
The tool require are simple, but the right tools make working much easier. Cutting soap is one place where you can get hurt. Try to get soap cutting tools so you don't use knives to cut soap. Cutting hardened soap with a knife is a quick road to injury.
Handmade soapmaking is part science and part art. The science part takes some study. The art part takes practice as well. Making soap is a great hobby and can be a profitable little business as well.

![]() KitchenAid Silicone Loaf Pan, Red List Price: See Reviews For This Product DescriptionOne look at this rubbery bakeware and those uninformed about silicone will laugh at the possibility that it’s actually safe to bake in it. But safe it is and KitchenAid is just one of many bakeware manufacturers that is producing pans in this revolutionary material. Made of FDA-approved food-grade silicone, this 9-by-5-inch rectangular loaf pan bakes a scrumptiously sweet banana bread or a soft loaf of homemade white bread just as evenly as your metal pans and at temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, this silicone pan has the benefit of being safe for the refrigerator, freezer, and microwave and can withstand sudden temperature changes from one extreme to another without buckling. The nonstick surface releases bread easily and is safe for use with metal utensils aside from knives or serrated blades. Oversized rims make the pan easy to lift and transfer to and from from the oven. The only noticeable difference with silicone is that the pans feel a little wobbly as you carry them from tabletop to oven filled with dough and vice versa. Placing this loaf pan on a baking sheet will offer better stability for transferring baked goods and provide a level cooking surface in the oven. For easy cleanup, this pan is dishwasher-safe and will retain its nonstick cooking surface through hundreds of dishwasher cycles. KitchenAid provides a one-year hassle-free replacement warranty plus a lifetime limited warranty on this pan. --Cristina Vaamonde Features
