ignitethesenses Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Was I mistaken in thinking that silicone bakeware was ok for making soap? I got a red pan from walmart, made soap in it last night and now my uncolored soap is pink on the sides and bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Wow, that answers that question for me. I got one recently too. It crossed my mind to get one to make soap in. Did the soap come out besides turning pink?I hope the color doesn't come out into the food you put in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignitethesenses Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 The soap seems fine....I haven't cut it, just took it out of the pan this morning. I too was wondering what if it had been my food soaking up that red dye.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignitethesenses Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 I just realized this....we have a plastic cake pan lid that came out of the dishwasher stained pinkish - its REALLY ugly now (originally green lol) - anyway, it just occured to me that the silicone pan is probably to blame for that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmille3 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I had this happen on soap for DH. I told him it was purely cosmetic and made him use it (I know, I'm a bully). It washed right off.If it's for your own personal use, rinse it and ignore. DH's skin hasn't fallen off (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrie Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I had this happen on soap for DH. I told him it was purely cosmetic and made him use it (I know, I'm a bully). It washed right off.If it's for your own personal use, rinse it and ignore. DH's skin hasn't fallen off (yet).I do the same thing to my DH. He gets everything that I can't stand. He lost his sense of smell in a car accident years ago and so he doesn't have a clue what my soaps smell like, or anything else for that matter. So he always has "his" soap in the shower and then I have mine, and mine smell really nice. I do love him.........really.........but I hate throwing out soap just cause it doesn't smell so great BTW, I have a blue one I got at bath body and beyond and I see no problem with it, but I only do M&P.

ignitethesenses Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 The soap is a fabric cleaner....and I made this batch solely for cutting up for samples. I'll test it to see if the red affects the fabric. The sides are dark and the bottom is very light - I think if I cut the sides off it should be ok...

maryann Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Do you think you just got a "bad" mold?? I wonder if you soak it in something (a little bleach and water) for a bit if that would help. I use a red one too for M&P though, that I got from Walmart and have had no problems (knock on wood). They're supposed to w/stand 500 degrees (or at least the one I have is). That's too bad as soap come out so easy, what process are you using, how hot/warm do you pour? or I wonder if its a reaction to an ingredient- I'm rambling, that's just weird that did that. Wonder if you and Jeana have the same brand (and that's the problem?) Either way sounds like a pan that should have a recall on it because like you said can you image what it does to food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 If you are making cp soap do you think it could be the lye causing the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignitethesenses Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 It could be the lye...but that wouldn't explain why it bled all over the other plastic lid in the dishwasher....at least I'm pretty sure thats what did it lollindsaycb - PMing ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
