Food Grade Lye Sodium Hydroxide - (1lbs or 453g) 100% Pure Caustic Soda, Drain Cleaning, Soap Making, Culinary Use, Pretzels, Textiles, Granules

Con esto elaboro mis propios jabones artesanales, me gusta mucho que se disuelve en agua muy rápido

Great for making pretzels, and pretzel bread. Be careful to not soak more than 15 seconds Per side. It is real acid, and can soak in the bread.

I understand that this is food grade lye, but it was still kind of expensive compared to other food grade products. I just wanted to try it out for making pretzels and bagels and I had never purchased lye before. Of course purchasing a larger quantity would also save a lot of money, but I didn't plan on using it very often, and even though it's a pretty small one pound container, it's sure to last me ages. I wouldn't go dumping this down the drain without using it as a bagel bath first, but if I notice its benefits, I might try some drain cleaner quality stuff for that purpose. I do get clogs in my garbage disposal at times. Anyway, it's a nice sturdy container, and it came sealed well. The granules are small and it poured well. It was not clumpy at all. It was pure and white and consistent looking, so a very good quality product for sure. Maybe it will spark a soap making adventure since I've never tried that before LOL. I'm really happy with it, thank you for letting me try it out.

Worked great for making my shampoo bars.

Good stuff

Beads were so tiny. They spilled everywhere trying to pour into a container.

I use it for making soap. Works great!

The bottle definitely appears larger in the picture than what it actually is, and so the list price of $24 seems a little steep for what you get. However, it is food grade, which I've not purchased before, so it might be standard price. I got it for drains when needed, and I haven't found any issues with it so far. Seems to be quality product, and now I'm thinking it might be too good for just a drain cleaner! Who knows, I might try to use it for a purpose that I actually need food safe lye for!
