What is the difference between cold process, oven process and hot process soap? Ca you use one more quickly or what? I am just starting out and have made 2 batches of good cp soap and can't use then for 4-6 weeks. Just wondering... Thanks
@911no Hi! The first step is the same.. the difference is in hot process or cpop is your cooking the soap, whether in a crock pot or useing the Cold process oven process, the cpop is you make the soap as usual, do all your pipping or whatever have ya and then stick in the oven with mold and all and let it cook for about 2 hours at 170 degress, this will cut back on the waiting game, you can use the soap in a couple of days, but I like to wait at least a week. I hope I answered your question. =)
@juliesouther Yes, the oven processing speeds up the saponification process making it safe IF done correctly. But I always like to let mine cure a good week or two after.
@robynhood2000 So sorry to hear that.... I hope it works out for you the second time around... check the temperature, make sure its no higher than 170 degrees. Good luck
Oh, well that's true. That was dumb question, wasn't it? ;-) I've subscribed to your video channel so I'll have to go through and look at all your other stuff as soon as I have time.
My next adventure will be making a soap cake so I've looking for How To videos on that. But I'll definitely come back and chek out all your videos. Thanks for posting these :-)
@Thishereismyusername No, it was not a dumb question. The only dumb question is the one not asked. I have a video on making a soap cake, it looks kinda like a chia pet, but you will get the idea! =D
Very interesting. I let my soap stay in for only one hour at 170 degrees and my tops always melt back down into the soap, so I guess it really IS all about waiting until the tops reach a very thick trace. Does it matter if the bottom part is at thin or thick trace?
@Thishereismyusername Yes it does.... the bottom has to be substancial enough to hold your top, if its too thin anything you put on top of it will sink into the soap.
So glad to find this video. I prefer CPOPing but I haven't been doing that method when I do swirls, peaks and piping because I thought the heat would make it all sag down into the soap. What temp do you use and how long do you leave it in the oven? My oven only goes down to 170 degrees.
@Thishereismyusername I'm glad you found this helpful! You can do swirls, peaks,etc with this method it wont hurt anything. I cook it in the oven for 2 hours at 170 degrees, then I turn off the stove and let the soap stay in there for about 8 hours indisturbed, I like to allow it to cool off slowly. =)
Can this soap be ready right away with this method. Can you use it the next day after you oven process it. I was wondering because most of the oven process soaps can be used the next day is that what you can do with this soap. Because this is a beautiful soap for what you had made it like. I really think it is a nice way of do this. I am thinking about do my soap this way as long as it doesn't need curing.
@bpereztab Thank you! I have found the scent is not affected at all, just make sure that the scents flash point is higher than 170 degrees, that will ensure no flash off. But I wouldnt recommend using this method with citrus scents, as they are always the ones who like to flash off even in CP. I dont add more FO with this method, just my usual damount. I hope this helps, let me know if you try it! =)
You are so good to do these videos, I'm so going to try this, I'm eager to use some soaps like yesterday lol! My one & only first batch already feels like it is taking forever, it's not been a week yet! I've watched some hot process soap in crock pots & read some tuts on oven process but it's got all this messy gloopy stiring, checking stiring & squishing gloop into moulds, don't fancy that, this is more my cup of tea. Not sure how this method avoids all that but I like it! Thanks Dani x :-)
@dianeuk01 Your welcome sweety, this is my preffered method of hot processing, the thing I like the best is I can still design the log and pipe and everything as in Cold process, let me know how it goes for you if you try it!! =)
@theglittergirl9 It means you make the soap as normal cold process, then, instead of insulating it and waiting four to six weeks, you cook it in the oven so it can be ready to use right away.
@Heavencynts You can use it right away after it has cooked and slept in the oven over night, But I like to wait a couple of days in order to allow the soap to get a bit harder.
@KayleenSoap Thanks sweety, The titanium dioxide just turns your soap white, the top of the soap looks very white, thats beccause I used TD to get it that way, if not it would have been a cream color, I normaly put the TD in the lye water and disolve it in there, then I pour into the oils, it will turn the whole thing white, but you can separate the soap and still color with whatever color you want. :)
awesome job..but I can NEVER do CPOP..I peek too much..I guess if I soaped later at night I could just leave it overnight but I soap during in the day soo no go..I just poke poke poke..peek peek peek.. Im a HORRIBLE candidate for CPOP ;)
@wahinepaddler4 LOL, I'm the same way! Thats why I always do these at night, because I will go to sleep and not peek, when morning comes and the urge comes to go peek... its ok because its done! :D
I've only done cp and whipped. I am definitely going to try this. You may have covered this in the video (I kept being interupted ;0( ) Did you say to let it cure for 1 week? Your bars turned out very nice. Soap is just so much fun isn't it? ;0) Really enjoyed your videos.
@mbjlhj Thanks for the comment, as for curing, this particular method requires no curing time because by cooking it your super speeding the sopanification process, which after cooking it and letting it stay in the oven over night will render a ready to use bar, but I let mine sit for a week in order to let the bar get harder (this is optional if you dont mind a softer bar), another tip is do the Zap test before using it just to make sure its done and ready! :)

So there are no concerns using the soap so quickly? Does the lye change in the oven process making it safe? Thanks!
