I need a stirer for small batches (less than 8oz) of soap. Is this or a flat, round, or balloon the best for me?

Hi. I use this whisk for everything 32 ounces and under. It can be a challenge with heavier batters and emulsions, but I belive in your case, if you keep your mixture warm enough to stay fluid, it will work great. You can also bend this whisk to suit your needs. Hope this helps!

this is flat and is great I have purchased a few other shapes but nothing is like this one. Great for a little amount in a bowl. If a slightly larger bowl gets about 1 inch of liquid, it would also be good. No for a full bowl of liquid. Then you need a different shape or a larger type,. This is like a bottom feeder.

I have never made soap. However, this is the best whisk I have ever used. It is quite small, and very suitable for small batches.

Without having ever made soap I guess it would all depend on whether or not you want air added to the mixture. If there should not be air and only a dense bar then do not use the balloon whisks. I have a flat whisk I use to remove lumps and blend so it sounds like that's what you might need.

Depends on the type of soap. If glycerin soap, I would use a wooden spoon. This is a good wish but will add too many air bubbles to your soap

I am not sure what would be best for mixing soap but I find that this whisk is a very nice size for mixing small amounts. I use it frequently for things like scrambling 2-3 eggs, blending cornstarch in liquid for sauce thickening and smaller amounts of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The whisk is sturdy enough to hold up to thicker, more dense mixtures so it seems it should work for soap blends in small batches

I wouldn't use it for large batches of liquid. The center is about 2" high so a blender might work better for you.

I've used it to grate bar soap (don't ask) and it worked fine. I'd imagine soap is firmer t than chocolate. Hope that's helpful.

Sorry that I could not answer your question soon. Unfortunately, your application is quite deviated from our current design. I don't think our sponge holder is a right fit for those sponges with the soap in the handle. I will discuss your need with our team. Thanks very much for the question.

I just use regular dish washing soap that has anti bacterial fighter in it. Something like Dawn or Palmolive. There is a ratio of soap to water with the soap being much less. If you use too much soap it will gum up the dispenser. Check on the internet for a good ratio and 'don't shake' it once mixed. It's better if you just flop it sideways a few times to mix it. Ours has worked well so far. Good luck !

I do not know anything about different forms of this. I use it for soap and it is fine.

You should buy one for each purpose. Once you use something for soaping, you never want to use it again for any other application. I hope this helps.

I think about a quart. I cut it up and melted it in a quart sized mason jar in a boiling pot of water. I didn't really pay attention to how much liquid it made, but I think I filled the jar twice and when melted was half a jar. This soap melts pretty quickly and is easy to work with.

Oh my....I recently moved and my stirrers are still packed away, so I'd be guessing! Maybe 12". It's a very nice item and I'm so pleased with it! This type of item was almost impossible to find! Just go for it...I don't think you'll regret it.

I would suggest a foaming pump. 1/3 soap, 2/3 water. And it works great!! If you are not wanting to buy a foaming pump, then i have heard that you can also mix 1/3 to 2/3 with aloe vera gel for a more soap like consistancy. Hope this helps!

I got the small one and happy with it as I only grate enough for one serving at a time...such as fresh ginger for tea .,,,,,,so it you are using a lot that is different but in my opinion this is perfect.the small one gets my vote. Hope this helps.

I,m not sure even with modifications whether the pumping mechanism would have the strength to pump soap that distance. Not sure why you think the container is small and why you would need a gallon container of soap. I filled the factory container with dish soap and it took 3/4 of a full kitchen soap container, roughly 20 ounces, which in my opinion would last a long time.

this is a silicone mold, works well for fondant molding, not sure if will work with soap. Since it is a soft silicone, if the soap molding process uses a hot product, it could damage this kind of mold. if the soap is cool and pliable should get good impressions/moldings but due to the shallow depth, it only creates roses that are used for accents (like on top of another item)

I am afraid I haven't used it to make soap. Not something I would have thought of, but it is a strong immersion blender and the moving parts are washable, so I can't see why you wouldn't try it for a small amount. It's not of commercial strength.

I have used the funnel on many sizes brands. Even the small half pint ball regular jars. Half pint is the smallest I have used, regular mouth.

I've not had them long enough to experience anything but good service. I use one for dish soap and the other for hand soap. I usually don't depress the lever the entire way because a smaller amount of the product is sufficient. If I experience problems, I will post.

The soap comes in a container with a small scoop included. There are easy directions to follow on the container. I personally use one scoop per load in my regular washer.
