Room Temperature method

I am new to the soap making business and have experimented with the various methods. Needless to say that the room temperature method appeals to me. I can get going without the cold process fuss. Can the room temperature method be used for any cold process recipe? When sharing this method with a hardened cold process champion I was asked if the soap will saponificate the same way as the cold process.

Answer:

Paula,

To the best of my knowledge, any cold process recipe is ok. You may need to pre-melt somethings...like beeswax or stearic acid.

As for how it saponifies...everything goes just the same once the hard oils have melted and you've added the liquid oils.

It really makes soap making that much easier and quicker.
