Putting it in this section because....well....it was a beginner mistake!
Made a double portion of hp today, didn't really worry about letting the oils or the lye solution cool at all before mixing. Went off to check some scent ideas in the other room.....
The Admirable Lady was yelling my name, ran through to the kitchen to see my soap trying to get away! Spanked it with the spatula a while until it sunk back down in to the pot. Scooped the extra back in and then kept a keen eye on the little fiend. Didn't take too long to get cooked and managed to make a decent end result from it.
Moral of the story - if you're soaping hotter than usual with a recipe that fills your slow cooker more than you are used to, keep an eye on the whole thing or it'll jump out and try to run away.
