Supplies for making homemade soap
I use an enamel pot for making my soap, though any stainless steel pot will work. I like to melt my oils in it on the stove and then pour my lye solution into the pot with the milk when it is time to mix everything together. I also don’t think it is a good idea to use your soap making pot for anything other than soap making.
If you have questions as you are making your soap or about the items you will need to make soap, please feel free to ask away, I try to be prompt about answering questions here.
