Awww, thank you so much!

This morning I decided to learn how to make hot-processed soap today, so I ran to my computer and spent much of the day on the internet. For a long time all the recipes I found were made in a crockpot, but I did not want to buy a crockpot. I was getting disappointed when I stumbled on a recipe that only required a stockpot and a stick blender... and I was mesmerized. The lava was self-cooking, it erupted like a volcano, it was alive! I didn't see such energy inside the crockpots. So I looked for similar KZread videos and I liked this one the best for the clarity and poise of the explanations. A day well spent. Thank you!

Volcanoes are my favorite part of making hot process soaps (the more volcanoes the better). I add sugar to the liquid to help increase the temp and like you, I add yogurt after the cook is completed. Just wondering if you add sodium lactate to your soap along with the yogurt? I made a batch of HTHP yesterday and since I did not have any yogurt I added the sodium lactate, the batter was somewhat fluid but no where near as fluid when combined with the yogurt. Great videos (and thanks for playing music over the hand blending portions).

Great video and showing a non crockpot version. What was the time frame from adding the lye until the batter was fully saponified in the steel pot? I tried my first HP in a steel pot and the traced soap started out at 165 F did not heat up afterwards. I agitated it with further stickblending but temperature dropped to 145 F. I reheated it to 170-200F and it saponified then with more stirring. No volcano at all but more like mashed potatoes and change of color. Zap test was good and somehow I figured it was saponified. I guess with reheating and lost moisture ending in drier mashed potato batter. A very rustic soap 😅

Ding ding ding 🛎

You have some things mixed up but likely just trying tonwork and think about thenprocess at the same time isnalways challenging. For new learners watching.... Saponification is the word your looking for. In cold process soap, the saponification takes place during the time its in the mold (12-24hours) whereas in hot process, saponofication takes place before you put the batter in the mold. You can use both soap right away; however, BOTH CP and HP soap needs to fully cure (saponification, water evaporation and crystallization) in order to get a hard long lasting bar that isn't mushy or dissolves quickly. All CP and HP soap formulations needs to be cured. Each soap formulation is different so it's always best for the soapmaker to weigh their soap each week until it no longer looses weight. Write that duration time-frame down so you have your formulations exact cure time. Using a stick blender speeds up the trace process as the velocity helps emulsification and it also causes heat which helps in hot process to speed up to saponification.

No cooker is needed. But before you mix oils with Lye water make sure oils are heated and temp is 195°

Temperature is a big factor

You can use any oils you like with lye water. I wrap after trace is reached to make soap transparent this method won’t work.

Why the yogurt?

Aurora Gonzales this ingredient not only makes my mix more fluid but it is a very good moisturizer

Hi, I just tried fluid hot process soap making but the volcano doesn't come. Is it happen when the temperature too low? Thanks in advance 😊

Possibility is that the temperature is two low and mixing is low as well. Make sure stick blender is on highly. But keep in mind sometimes you won’t see a volcano but some reaction or phases. Best of luck!

So do you have it on a burner? Can you use soap right away?

Kelly McRae when I mix the oil and the lye it is not on a burner. The only time I heat up anything is my oil then I remove and proceed to add my freshly mixed lye water solution

You didn't give the recipie??? Please provide the recipie too.

@SR Diaries It is rude to ask a Soapmaker their Recipe. You can learn to make your own Recipe with soapcalc.net , it will give you all the ratios that you need (water, lye, oil weights, etc...). You don't have to rely on using someone else's Recipe, if you make your own. She provided the Ingredients she used. That is more than enough, to input into a Lye Calculator (like I posted above), and find the percentages you want.

When can I add super fat? at what temperature?

Superfatting in hot process soapmaking is typically done near the end of the cooking process, after the soap has reached a certain level of saponification. The exact timing and temperature can vary depending on your recipe, but a common approach is to add superfatting oils or butters when the soap has cooked and gelled.

Actually cold process soap can be safe to use within 24 hours or less also - saponification does not take 3 weeks (as you referenced in your video) in cold process soap. The only difference between cold and hot process soap is hot process completes saponification in as fast an hour, cold process completes saponification within 24 hours. Both versions should be cured for several weeks to facilitate the evaporation of the excess water, creating a harder bar. Technically you could use cold process soap the day after you make it and it will be perfectly safe - but the bar won't last long (nor would hot process soap that has not cured to allow evaporation.) I appreciate people who are willing to share tutorials, but I think it's equally as important to provide accurate information about the state of the soap and the chemical reaction of saponification. Cold process soap cooks from the outside in, at a slower and more controlled rate. Hot process soap cooks from the outside in, making it harder to control the rate and making it more difficult to add/use specialty additives (i.e. milk, etc.). HP soap does tend to have a stronger scent and holds scent longer than CP because you add the fragrance at the end of the cook, whereas with CP it is added during the cook/before the cook.

@Linda Brooks; I agree with you 100% but according to Kevin Dunn who wrote the scientific soapmaking, even though you can use cold process soap immediately, only 97% of saponification happens in the first 12-48 hours; the other 3% happens in the next 4-6 weeks. there are several differences between cp and hp soapmaking; just find what works for you

I wish y’all would call this something else because hp is cooking it with a crockpot. This is just blending hot oils.

Hp is cooking with high temp oils and lye, wheter you use a crockpot or not. It's called conventional hp if you use a slow cook pot or hp continuous stirring if you use a blender.

@Indigenous Chippewa The name does not need to be changed. "Hot Process" means cooking the soap at high temperatures. As this soap was mixed at very high temps at the start (not allowing the lye solution to cool down), the soap essentially cooks itself. HP does not NEED to have a crockpot to cook it. There are many ways to make HP, and this is 1 method of making it.
