scentlady Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I used a glass pyrex cup, melted my soap and added fragrance and color. Can I re use this container for food or should I replace it. I know when doing candles, I never used the utensils for food again. Is this true of soap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Yes you can use it for food. Just wash out all the soap and make sure its clean again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawaiiansun Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I keep my soap bowls and pyrex seperate. I suppose you could use it but for my safety, because of the fragrance oils I have seperate stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scentlady Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Well I always had separate stuff for candles and I was told for candles that it had to be separate but I wasn't sure about soap. But it makes sense. I planned to get separate utensils anyway but today I was just playing with a batch and used what I had on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruina Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Since glass isn't absorbent I would think if you washed it thoroughly that would be fine. I do it all the time with glass & metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeAnna_EC Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 i use my pyrex, i just soak it in hot soapy water and then run it through the dishwasher. Everything else is seperate especially plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I keep a seperate set of pyrex and utensils that is only for use with soap. I just don't like the idea of chemicals in fo's sharing the same container that I measure food in, regardless of how sanitized the container is. It's not that expensive to buy an extra measuring cup and spoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapmom25 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I never mix utensils. I keep separate containers for soap and food. I simply don't trust that all fragrance oil is washed off whether I do it by hand or run it in the dishwasher. I'm sure it probably is, but I'm not going to take that chance and make my children the guinea pigs. Pyrex are not that expensive, and plenty worth the cost of being "sure" my kids don't possibly ingest any more chemicals than they already probably do from the quality foods in this country!

prairieannie Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hey, it's soap. That's pretty much how I see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesoapbox Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I use them as well. My husband about flipped when he saw me melting mp soap in the pyrex and then later use it to measure stuff for dinner. I looked at him and said, what is wrong. He is like, omg you used that to melt soap in and now you are using it for food. I say, what is the big deal, I washed it. And he goes yeah but you melted soap in it and I go, well, what do I wash the dishes with? He just looked at me and walked away LOL!Dish soap has fragrance in it as well so I am not at all worried about melting mp with fragrance in a pyrex cup and then using it later for food. After all, when you wash your dishes by hand or even in the dishwasher, you are washing them with soap that is full of fragrance oils too Now, anything I use with the lye on cp soap I certainly keep seperate. MP soap with fragrance is no different than dish soap with fragrance IMO.Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thats the way I see it too. If you have to use it-- just wash it out.Over time I have purchased seperate pyrex bowl and utensils for my soapmaking just because I prefer it. Not because I feel I must.
