I am so eager to make hot process soap, specifically to retain the essential oils. Your video is the first I have seen with a clear indication of times and did not seem like I would give myself carpal tunnel with stirring! Thanks!
I have been listening to a lot of tutorials as I am about to jump into some soap making of my own.. Yours is one of the best! You are thorough and easy to understand for a beginner. Thank you for that.
You are so welcome! I have a full course on my site as well. Highly recommend it to avoid many common errors and pitfalls (soooo wish I had it when I was starting!) soapyfriends.com/product/ultimate-soapmaking-course/
There are a few options: With hot process, I don’t bother lining. The soap pops right out. With cold process, line with freezer paper or no liner. If no liner freeze to release from mold. I’ll put together a short video on this soon 🥰
I don’t stir, because you don’t need to 😊 stirring also means the lid is off, heat is lost, and moisture escapes. If you stir, you me soap takes longer to cook and won’t be as fluid.
Nice video! I am a CP soaper, I made my 3rd batch of HP soap the other day. The first 2 turned out fine but this one when I did a lather test on an end piece was crumbly. Does this mean it was over cooked?
Was it just the end piece/top that crumbled? The biggest problem soapers have with HP is overcooking. The higher the temp, the shorter the cook. The longer the cook, the more water you should add.
@@sherrymartindale8582 the good new is… it’s still good soap then! You can always rebatch it if it doesn’t make you happy as is ☺️ soapyfriends.com/product/rebatching-handmade-soap-master-class-bundle/
You don’t want to smoke your oils. That temp varies based on the oil, but 220-ish is where i usually add my lye solution. FYI when soaping, I usually only pull out the heat gun videos and to verify that my HP oils are hot at the start of a cook.
This is a great tutorial. However the usual hot process soap takes time and the batter turns very sticky and quite difficult to mold at the end. I prefer the fluid heat transfer hot process. Very fast process and you end up with a fluid batter that you can just pour easily in molds
The heat transfer method creates a cold process soap. Crazy terminology we have 😋 Cold process = you do not add additional heat during the process and your batter easily pours into a mold where it finishes saponifying over the next 24 hours or so. Hot process = external heat is used to cook the batter resulting in saponification being completed before you mold the soap.
The most detail explain from other youtuber maker... thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Very detailed but easy to follow explanation of the differences/benefits of HP vs CP with Superfat
@@aanewton6051 thank you! I hope you found it useful🥰

So glad it was helpful!🥰

This is well said, explaination amazing.
Glad I was able to help!
I will like to see more about pipe molds, special the process of taking out the product after 24 hours
Thank you

Here’s a video with more details on the pipe mold for you 🥰

Thanks for making this video. Does it affect the soap when it is sired? Why not just keep stirring it?
I don’t stir, because you don’t need to 😊 stirring also means the lid is off, heat is lost, and moisture escapes. If you stir, you me soap takes longer to cook and won’t be as fluid.
Essential oils are volatile at much lower temperatures. Is there a point of adding them at 200°F?
Generally speaking, Any cooler than that and the batter is usually starting to thicken up too much to ensure full incorporation into the batter.
Nice video!

What’s the maximum temperature for hot process soap
You don’t want to smoke your oils. That temp varies based on the oil, but 220-ish is where i usually add my lye solution. FYI when soaping, I usually only pull out the heat gun videos and to verify that my HP oils are hot at the start of a cook.
“Vasoline” referring to the color, not the texture, correct? Cuz that is not a vaseline texture
It’s a similar texture to vaseline. But yes, mainly it’s the visual appearance.
This is a great tutorial. However the usual hot process soap takes time and the batter turns very sticky and quite difficult to mold at the end.
