Are those the pampered chef bread molds? If so I was not aware they could be used for molds as they are made of metal. I would love to see
how the soap turns out.

Wow that is a great selection of molds .Have fun soaping..

Kitn

 

[Jola]

They are. I haven't tried them yet but was told they will work. I got new ones from a consultant that had overstock for 50 cents each so I figured why not

I think they have a lip at the end though, not sure how that will work with removing the soap. :?
If they don't work, I'm a baker to so no loss (other than the one I will try the first time around).

 

[lovetosoap]

Thanks Jola. I am looking forward to hearing how they work.

If they are made out of aluminium you won't be able to use them for CP soap.

I want to go to IKEA!!! I want those drawers...

 

[Petals]

Those drawers are great! I'm going to have to find some.

Stainless steel = OK
Aluminum = Not OK

The pampered chef molds will not work for CP as they are made out of aluminum. (Mine are anyway) I use mine with MP no problem, but I can't use them for CP.

This bread mold says it is mabe out of tinned steel

 

[Jola]

yes the bread tubes are tinned steal. I know aluminum won't work with CP. I'm guess you could say I'm still in the excited beginner phase of all this and am willing to give pretty much anything a try even if it ends up with bad results.
For 50 cents a piece how could I go wrong!?

 

[I love soap!]

Hey Jola if the soap turns out bad you can just send it to me. I love rejects

 

[Tabitha]

Awesome selection of molds!

I have used the tube molds w/ M&P. Be careful.... mine rusted. Don't remember why, it was 7-8 years back.

 

[Guest]

why isn't aluminium ok for a mould?

 

[Jola]

still haven't tried the bread tubes. Was having too much fun with my silicone lined wooden ones.


Aluminum and lye don't get along. At least that is what I've heard. Not sure what would happen if you did use it.

 

[TessC]

Aluminum + lye = hydrogen, nasty nasty.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16dshZ5GHZw]Here's a video[/ame] that shows the reaction, and [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i40gOQOqsSc]here's one[/ame] that shows a "bomb" made from aluminum and lye.

 

[madpiano]

you could do HP soap for those molds. I have a nice mold which has aluminium in it and I use it with HP soap no problem.

My normal mold also contains aluminium and I line it with baking paper before pouring the soap but it is still showing some degradation in some areas where some of the raw soap leaked a bit.

I know the lye reacts with some metals in CP... but if you HP then pour after gel does it still cause problems?
