Equipment for first batch

[Mindyw86]

I got a steal on these 10 cup plastic pitchers the other day, I think they will work for cp but wanted to ask to be sure... I hope the pic upload works and it isn't too ginormous! Also have the 4 cavity 1 lb loaf silicone mold from ng which says its fine for cp

Those look similar to the ones that I got at the Dollar Tree. So, those should work.

The ones I got at the Dollar Tree are white, but they look very similar. I LOVE them, especially when dividing batter for coloring. Wtg Mindy!

I got one at dollar general for a penny the next day I went back to get the rest the next day and told them after looking at the receipt the day before I figured it must be wrong and asked how much they were supposed to cost...they sold me the rest for a quarter each! So I got 9 for $2.01!!!!! Yay me!

As long as your not mixing your lye in them they should work perfectly fine.

And if they are HDPE 5 (should say on the bottom) you can even mix your lye in them with no problems.

I love those for dividing colors and more precise pouring--I've bought several, too! Just be aware that even half-full, the handle will flex a lot (at least my white dollar store ones do). So I don't know if you'd want to mix up a batch bigger than about 1lb of oils right in one of those--unless yours are sturdier than mine.

Nice score!

The handles on mine are a little flimsy, but I've been able to put about 2 lbs of batter in them to use for swirls like the zebra swirl. I don't mix lye in them - mine don't have any markings on the bottom so I'm assuming they are not HDPE 5.
