Sodium Hydroxide - Pure - Food Grade (Caustic Soda, Lye) (2 Pound Jar)

This is an excellent product I use to make cold-process soaps. I highly recommended it to anyone interested in making an artisan quality soaps from scratch.

worked perfect for soap

This stuff is awesome. I've worked with other brands before and this one is super nice mainly because of the consistency of the substance. Definitely gonna buy again

Perfect for making pretzels

Lye is notoriously caustic, but this particular batch need to have something added to it. Compared to previous batches of food grade lye, this product takes longer to heat up, doesn't get as hot, and doesn't foam as much. In fact, the fumes from using this to clean pots and pans smells rather sour. Maybe there is some sort of additive that retards the reaction with water. I was intending to use this for soap, but will probably consult a commercial supplier. It's still fine for cleaning and pretzel blanching, though.

I use this one to make pretzels. It works real well and easy to use. This is a big bottle, I think it can last a long time.

Great product! I use this for making soap. Fair price and always arrives in new condition. Works well in my soap products.
