Subject: I dare you Phase II Part One: Equipment list to make soap

For those who are up to take this weeks challenge.. Start looking at garage sales or Goodwill type stores, bribe someone who has not used something off the list for the last eons in trade for some soap.. ect

wooden chopsticks
2 deep stainless steel bowls
2 glass dairy themometers (you can get them in the housewares dept)
a blender with a GLASS pitcher
lots and lots and lots and lots of yogurt or cottage cheese containers with lids
rubber kitchen/dishwashing gloves
VINEGAR!
measuring cup ( I used a Hills dog food measuring cup as I work for vet offices)
plastic measuring pitcher
wooden spoons with long handles
saran wrap(cringe, I have not tried cellophane with this project)
Old blankets or sleeping bags
Ingrediant list:
1 can of Crisco

coconut oil
