Help please!!!

[Charleyssoap]

I’ve been learning liquid soap and using the hot process method in my crockpot but I’ve been noticing little black specs in my soap. I want to know what is the cause, how to avoid it, and if my batch is ruined because of it. Please if someone with experience can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks Charley

I've been making liquid soap since 2004 and this is the first time I've heard of "little black specs" in a batch. Without more information, your guess is probably better than mine.

Could it be that the specks are from your crockpot? Perhaps small bits of cooked on debris that's not noticeable?

I was thinking similar - or if it's one of the teflon-coated kind, could that be flaking off?

I think that could be it, Ive started being extremely thorough in my cleaning and sanitizing and I am not having the problem anymore so thank you.

Hi, I think Ive solved the issue but I was just using a basic olive coconut and castor recipe for practice. Thank you

There crockpot does have a crack in it. The crack doesn't go through but I think it may cause particles to cook in the soap. Ive started making cold process and am very thorough in my sanitization and I think it has solved the issue for now. Thank you
