Frymaster equivelent

Galavanting Gifts · Jun 13, 2009

I have Frymaster brand, solidified vegetable oil and was wondering what it is the equivelent to in oils. I'm having a look on soap calc and BB Lye calculator sites but can't find what to type in. I've used it before but I just can't for the life of me think of the equivelent is. :roll:

My understanding is that it is palm oil. I have bought some to use as palm but because it doesn't say it is on the label I have not used it just yet. Have a look here:-

Here is a quote from that page -

Copha is coconut oil and makes for great lather, a hard bar, as well as being a good cleanser. Frymasta (the yellow wrapper) is actually palm oil. Supafry (the red wrapper) is tallow

Tanya, THANKYOU, I had an idea it was, I remember reading the same thing a couple of months back but was starting to think I was imagining it lol. I mentioned on another thread asking a substitute for palm but the Frymaster wasn't mentioned so I thought I must have got my wires crossed. O.K. now that you've confirmed what I thought then yes I have put it in as palm oil and had no problems with it.

Yes, Frymasta is palm oil. I was a little apprehensive to use it as it didn't say what it was on the ingredients, but I asked a very well renowned Aussie soaper what it was, and she says it palm oil. It's a different colour to palm that I get from aussie soap supplies, it's more yellowy, the palm from aussie soapers is more white. But I think it is maybe a little less refined or something. Or maybe they don't bleach it? I'm not sure but it soaps up pretty well.
