How fun!! I made several different batches of soap successfully! Some cold process, some hot process. I prefer the cold process because there are less steps although you do have to let the soap cure for a few weeks before using it. This will make sure the lye has saponified. I used goat milk in some and lard in some and used different Essential Oils for frangrance. Dallas likes the Cedarwood oil, I prefer the Lemongrass or TeaTree oils.
The plastic container was destroyed in order to get the soap out. Lining it first with wax paper works MUCH better. =)
