    Help with soda ash?

    Thank you. I have tried the steam method in the past but I was getting sweaty soap before getting rid of the ash, I was using a boiling water method though lol. Didn’t go over well. Could just be that I’m a spaz. I should try again.

    Advice pretty please?

    Hmmm so you never microwave in these? I usually use the same rubbermade microwave safe items but they are getting worn. So I picked these up. I’m trying to limit the amount of dishes guilty. But I want to keep it safe. I’ll spend the money and keep doing what I am if needed.

I’ve seen so many videos with soapers using these mixing bowls.. but now that I’ve purchased them I see they say not safe for microwave use.. Sooo wouldn’t that make it unsafe for mixing...
