Can I use a 8 cup glass Pyrex mixing/measuring bowl to mix the lye water solution? I’m concerned about using plastic. The glass bowl will not be used for anything else.
Darlene, The only thing about glass – make sure you use new glass and glass that can handle high temps. Glass has been known to shatter because of the high temp the lye mixture can get to. We changed to plastic rubbermaid pitchers after hearing about that.
Newbie at making soap. Want to learn more.
