Lye,great for mixing and making soaps

Perfect for my foray into soap-making. Easy to use.

Worked so good it ate away my asphalt outside my house when I accidentally spilt some.

There are so many uses for this lye since it is food grade. The crystals are uniform in size, making it easy to handle. My major use right now is in ridding my yard of moles, voles, and ground squirrels (aka gophers). A long handled spoon and a gloved hand are important for handling this product. Just put a spoon full down well inside the critter's hole and let them get a hot foot. I even had gophers coming up on my deck. Something had to be done before the wee beasties dug right into our basement. Nothing had worked in discouraging them until this. Just make sure it goes well down into the hole so it's not picked up unintentionally by other creatures. It may be an unconventional use for this product, but in two days I didn't have any more vermin camping on my doorstep.

The soap I made with this turned out nice and firm. I am very impressed. It looks like the best soap that I have ever made. I will be back for more!

I purchased this food-grade lye for both pretzel-making and soap-making, and it’s been a fantastic product! For baking, it creates that authentic pretzel crust we all love, giving the dough a deep golden-brown color and a signature chewy texture. I’ve also used it for soap-making, and it performs wonderfully—creating smooth, high-quality bars with a rich lather.That being said, it’s incredibly important to follow the safety directions closely. Lye is a powerful substance, and working with it requires proper precautions, such as using gloves and eye protection, and ensuring you're working in a well-ventilated area. I always make sure to carefully read the instructions to avoid any mishaps.If you’re looking for quality food-grade lye for pretzels, soap, or other uses, this product is definitely a great choice—just be sure to handle it safely!
