The mode of
production is the same for all. The fats are melted together, sifted
into a
double boiler, and the lye is stirred in at 111° F. cover up for an hour,
steam being allowed to enter slowly. There is now a clear, grain-like soap
in
the kettle is covered up. If cuttings are to be used, they are now added.
When
same are melted, the kettle will contain a thin, clear soap, which is
colored and
scented as per directions, and subsequently filled into little
iron molds and cooled.
