Soap Can Be Made
From Your
Inedible Fats
By LYDIA FOHN-HANSEN
Home Demonstration Loader
University of Alaska
The housewife whose conscience
will not allow the wasting of edi
ble fat in these days of critical
need for fat will find that edible
drippings may be used in place of
butter or shortening for season
ing and enriching vegetables, and
baked foods, while the fat not fit
to eat makes excellent soap with
out too much work. The simplest
way to make soap is by the cold
process. Simply pour lye dissolved
in water into melted, strained fat
Six pounds of fat, 1 can of lye in
2Vfe pints of water, the result is 8
t
pounds of soap. The temperature
must be right, the fat around 100
degrees F., the lye solution near
85 degree F. An ordinary or roast
thermometer may be used to test
the temperature. v
The lye must be added to the
cold water slowly as it gets very
hot and only a steel kettle or
heavy crock should be used for
mixing the solution. A stainless
steel kettle is best. - Avoid the
fumes of the lye.Wear gloves. Fol-j
low directions on the can. Pour
the lye solution into the fat slow
ly and stir only 10 to 15 minutes
until it bgeins to thicken. Pour it
into a wooden box or deep baking
pan and cover well to keep it
warm overnight. Ready to use af
ter a few weks.
If it does not harden but curdles
and stays soft it can be reclaimed
by boiling.
For boiled soap use wastefats
and cracklings. Since the mixture
foams and boils over it is advis
able to cook soap out of doors
over a camp fire in a very large
kettle. Stir constantly and control
the foaming with a dash of cold
water. Complete directions may
be obtained from the University
Extension Service, College, Alas
