thecandlespastore Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 How many of you do this? I am just wondering if it is a common practice. I have seperate sets for everything, but I am in a debate with someone over using the same mixer they use to mix their soap to prepare food too. I told them to invest in a seperate mixer for their food. They think I am crazy:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Um, well I'm new at this, so I've jsut been searching my kitchen for stuff - and then sticking it in the dishwasher and using the next day to make dinner!Just don't tell my family!

Purple Lilac Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I personally don't ( except the pan I melt my oils in). Glass or stainless has been noted to be safe for foods after using for soapin( after washing thoroughly, of course) but NOT plastic. I know certain ones that use the same mixer as well for soap and foods but I don't. I have a separate cheapie mixer for my soap and such.

CareBear Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Yes, I only use glass (Pyrex) for both. I do have separate whisks (cause they are so hard to clean) and a plastic melamine bowl that is for soap only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I do oven hot process, so use a large stainless steel Dutch oven to mix and cook my soap in. I have on occasion used it to cook pasta or something, when I needed an extra large pot. I don't use my stick blender, or my Rubbermaid pitcher that I mix my lye solution in, for anything else; they are dedicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I've been separating out the soap stuff from the stuff that has cobwebs on it because I forget to cook, don't remember how to cook or I eat out. But just in case I get the urge, it's there, poison free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von691 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I use my SS pan for all as it cleans out fine, but have 3 stick blenders for soaps, lotions etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnhorsemom Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I use the same stuff for soaping and cooking with the exceptions of my stick blender and the plastic containers I use to mix my lye. So far have not had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 My stuff is all separate, but only because I soap in the kitchen downstairs. Not going to drag all that stuff back up to the main kitchen... I'd probably keep it separate anyway, always seems like there's a little film of oil on everything. I do have a Kitchen Aid that I keep separate for lotions and other b&b stuff.

Meridith Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 All my equipment is separate too. I just feel better that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Same here. I just found a box of utensils, I swear this house is so full of stainless steel. I went on a crazy shopping spree years ago at William Sonoma's:D So I now have even more items that will just be for soap making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
