NOTE: I specifically call for Crisco instead of generic vegetable shortening, since Crisco’s Saponification Ratio (SAP) is known by the lye calculators and the proportions of oils in the vegetable shortening blend may be different with other brands. Also, Crisco changed their formula several years back and version commonly found on store shelves is made with palm oil. Check the ingredients listing on the Crisco package to make sure it includes palm oil.

1. Always make the lye solution first, as it requires cooling time. Measure the lye into a disposable paper bowl and set aside.

2. Measure out the correct amount of distilled water and pour into the lye-safe container. Place the container on a high heat-resistant surface and add the dry lye crystals to the water (never the other way around). Stir with a plastic cooking spoon until all the lye is completely dissolved. Set the lye mixture aside to cool.
