Crystala25 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I made cream soap yesterday, using the hp method. I left it over night and when I checked on it this morning it had seperated. I took a stick blender to it and it now looks like taffy. Will it seperate again? Or what is my next step or stage? I joined the cream soap group on yahoo, but my computer won't let me in there right now. Can anyone help me with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beloved Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Did you test for the ph? How long did you cook it? What did it look like when you went to bed?. Mine is always like a rock when i take it out of the oven and it takes a couple of days to loosen up. What is it like now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystala25 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 It only cooked for about 45 min-1 hour. And no it didn't look like a rock, it looked like a creamy goo when I went to bed. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 If you only cooked it for 45 minutes to an hour then you need to either ditch it in the trash or put it back on the cook for another 3-5 hours. Cream soap take much longer than 45 minutes to cook. After 45 minutes it probably has not even hit stage 2 yet. Once it is done cooking it should be kind of hard and translucent like hard vaseline. After sitting for 24 hours it will loosen up and gain a sheen to it as if it is growing marshmallows, and after another 48 hours it should whip up like whip cream.This is my cream soap after an overnight cook (yes you read correctly, an overnight cook!) and me letting it sit for a few hours.And the finished product that I use it for: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystala25 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Your's looks great, just like whipped cream. Okay, I through it back in the crockpot and let it cook for 3.5 hrs last night. It turned really hard and the color went more see through than creamy. Candlespastore, it looks just like you said like hard vaseline, lol. Then I turned it off and let it sit overnight. I'll wait another day before I try whipping it up. Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Great to hear! I am happy it worked for you. Try whipping it in a few days, if it seems super hard then boil some more water and add a little to it and let it sit for a bit longer, and then try whipping it. Hope we see a pic:wink2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystala25 Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 I had whipped it up again a few days ago and it was a pretty texture, then I let it sit over the weekend and it ended up seperating and losing its whipped texture, is this batch savable or should I start over?
