Anyone used for BOTH SOAP AND BAKING? Its just soap but is it ok to use for both applications or should I buy one for each purpose?

You should buy one for each purpose. Once you use something for soaping, you never want to use it again for any other application. I hope this helps.

these are typically used for baking cakes or muffins, but they are excellent for making homemade soaps too!

I own both, and I like both for different reasons. The BB mold is much more stable than this one, but this one is easier to unmold, since you can push the soaps out individually (invert each cube to push it out), while the BB mold requires you to loosen up each side around the cube before it lets loose. As others have mentioned, if you use this one, you *really* have to have something under it before you can move it - it will flop all over the place, spilling soap everywhere. I make CP soap.

Yes it is perfect for that! You will probably want to dilute with water or almond because it is very concentrated soap

Yes, you can use it for lye soap; I haven't tried it yet, but I read that you can use it for up to 5-20% of the oils used and even up to 100%, but it is more expensive than some other oils.

i don't know about for this machine, but i have heard of people using just hot water in these types of machines. I am planning to use hot water & baking soda (pre-mixed),(which I also use in my laundry). it is a chemical, but a "nicer" one. soaps can be hard to remove and i've read that residue can attract future dirt. plus, hard to remove = more water in the rinse = longer to dry = mold growth...potentially?

Just dish soap. It works great for liquid soaps (hand soaps or dish soap) and I expect it would work well for some creams, but it won't make foam soap for you. I think foaming soaps require a different kind of dispenser.

I've used Epsom salts & they work great. Be really easy on the soap or it'll overflow, but yes you can use soap.

I've done that and it's worked out ok. I'd be very careful with what you use. You do not want too much soap. Less is better. Also important - cleaning of the machine afterwards.

We used ours for soap molds and it worked well. We have not tried any other additional uses for this mold.

oK as bad as it sounds never use soap on your baking pans.I was trained by some great bakers and you wipe them down as much as you can while hot.A good baker has brown pans :) .If you can not live with brown pan's use parchment paper.I have broken down and used a sos pads and (scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner) Good stuff .Do not use bleach / bleach water on metal it causes rust.Never soak or submerge under water (air bake pans ) ever ,water gets inside and moisture will ruin the outcome of everything you bake..Best of luck Baking blessings :)

I didn't use any soap. The product is not difficult to come off, so to speak. In addition, don't waste your money, because this product is not effective at all.

I did more research. The silicone is safe to 400 degrees and can be used for soaps, candles etc. but: 1. The mold is very shallow so soaps would be very fragile 2. Molds used for foods should NOT be used for anything else. So if you want a soap rose a specialty soap mold would likely give a better result. Hope this helps.

I see no reason why you can not use this as an additive for soap but be careful as with any additive.

I've only used regular. I would have to assume it's primarily for regular dish soap.

I don't use this product for soap making. I use it for curing Olives so I won't be any help with your soap making project. Sorry.

Hi John! I use the soap as a part of my homemade detergent and I also have an HE washer. It works just fine for me!

Without having ever made soap I guess it would all depend on whether or not you want air added to the mixture. If there should not be air and only a dense bar then do not use the balloon whisks. I have a flat whisk I use to remove lumps and blend so it sounds like that's what you might need.
