Manufacture of soap in a crock pot is a simple way to hot "use process" method.
This provided how-to tutorial describes my steps for making crock pot soap, and that you are familiar with the process Soapmaking.
Start with a good recipe. I prefer recipes that a higher proportion of liquid oil to solids. One of my favorite recipes is very simple: 60% oil, 20% Palm Kernel Oil, 20% palm oil. Run it through a lye calculator to determine the amount of lye and [distilled] water needed.I do not discount my water hot, if process. (One of my favorite recipes can be found at the end of this guide.)
I use a 6 1 / 2 liter crock pot. A 4 pound batch of soap fits perfectly. It fills the crock pot about half full - giving room in case of it bubbling, but not too small an amount that it could burn.
First place, measuring the water and set aside.
Then measure the lye into a separate container. Slowly pour the lye into the pitcher with cold water. Stirto resolution. To provide a safe place.
If my lye mixture aside, I measure my solid oils. These can be melted into the pot to pot. This one needs more in this way, so I usually put them in the microwave for a few minutes until they melted and then pour in the Crockpot.
At this point in my crock pot is on low.
I recommend a good rubber spatula to scrape the bowl - no sense leaving behind every good oils.
Next, I measure my olive oil --and / or other liquid oils I happen to crockpot with - and this amounts to.
Take your cell phone and dandy stick blender at low speed, slowly pour the lye mixture into the melted oils. Move the stick blender around, above, below, to ensure, a nice mix well. If you do not stick blender, a stainless steel whisk has works great - just requires a little more power arm.
Once it has reached "trace", I have the lid on the crockpot and turn the heat setting uptoo high. But the first few times I made crock pot soap, I have it on low until I was confident how it works (both the soap and my crockpot).
Now I'm ready my mold, measure any fragrance oils or essential oils and other additives, I also want to use.
After about 15 or 20 minutes, I take off the lid and around with a potato masher, mash the soap. It has a look at a vaseline texture, shiny, smooth. It will have a waxy feel when you rub a piece of it between glovedFingers.
Add your additives, colorants, herbs, etc and mix well with a potato masher. When the mixture is quite good, add your fragrance and mix.
It is finished! At this point, it's really soap. It must only be placed in your form. I do this in large spoonfuls, pounding my mold to ensure the bar every couple of bullets that packaging in the form of firm. If I have it all in the form, I have a baggie on my hand and flatten the top - and make sure "squeeze" them into theCorners really well.
Now is a good time to wash all the dishes. And you will not have to add any soap! You should see some nice foam from the soap you've just done.
I let it sit over-night. The next morning, I rush and slice into bars to air for a week or so. Once a cure time needed cash, I bevel each one, and it is ready for use or sale.
