OFCILynn Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 If a recipe calls for Palm Kernal Oil Flakes, how can straight PK OIL be converted to use. The PKO Flakes are so much more exspensive and granted, Im sure much easier to work with but Id rather stick with the oil vs. the flakes due to expenses that I wont have to pass on to my customers! Any imput appreciated!God Bless,LynnIf a recipe calls for say 3 oz. of PKO Flakes, what would that be in PKOIL??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 flakes = oil, just an easier format to work with. The oil solidifies in the jug and is a PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I've always used the flakes and loved them, except I'm paranoid that one day I'll confuse them with soy wax. Then this last batch I got was the SOLID STUFF. EEK!PKO flakes and PKO -- use the same weight amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 They are the same exact thing. Just weigh it as usual.At Soapers Choice, the difference in cost is $.26/lb. I use about 8oz in each batch of soap I make. That makes that batch cost an extra $.13 cents. I get 16 bars out of each batch so the PKO is costing me less than $.01 extra per bar. That's one penny. The first PKO I bought was the solid stuff. It was so hard to break up and get out of the bucket I swore I'd never go back, and for less than a penny per bar it is worth it to me.

jzastoupil Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I took a knife to my solid PKO and went at it like crazy - like using an ice pick. Great way to relieve some stress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Mine came in jugs. Had to melt and pour and melt and pour. Never again - I got a HUGE cube of the flakes in my garage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
