âSo while McNuggets are 'made with 100 percent USDA Grade A chicken,' as McDonalds.com states, there's no way of knowing what percentage of the whole nugget is actually chicken.â. - Christopher Ochner, Ph.D.
1 Add 9oz lye slowly to 23oz water (never water to lye) outside â even in the winter. 2  Never combine in your house! 3  Do not breathe fumes! 4  Cool to 100 degrees F. 5  Add lye water to oils and mix with a hand or stick mixer until it begins to thicken (on 5min. off 5 -10 min.). 6  Add Raw Honey and essential oils and mix.
When the fats and oils are initially combined with the lye and the soap thickens, the pH is quite high and the soap is still caustic. If you are making soap by âcold process,â this is the pH of the soap that goes into the mold and is why it needs to be insulated for 24 hours and 4-6 weeks to cure.
