lindsaycb Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I want to pkg up my shea butter from the last coop as simple straight shea butter. My question is...if I melt it down to do so, will it become grainey at all? Any tips?Should I just warm it and whip it maybe?When I read over the site, I understand that the way the women constantly stir while its cooking/cooling, this is what prevents the grains...so does that mean I'm grain free now? HELP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaW Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I have never heated mine at all. I blend shea oil and whip it at room temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I slowly melt my shea down, place it in the fridge to cool a bit and then whip the tar out of it with my KA. Once it starts to set up, I place it in the fridge again and let it cool some more, then whip again. I keep doing this until I get the consistency I want (whip, cool, whip, cool...) This works for me and I don't usually have problems with it being grainy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblenut Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I have melted shea butter and just poured into containers, no fragrance. It is very nice just straight. No graininess. I am thinking of offering them just like that, as well as a brochure I have made up of the benefits of shea butter. HTh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
