  • Packed with care and very reliable Packed with care and very reliable
Size: 2 lb Bottle (Pack of 2)
This is going to sound odd but I love this product not only for the great quality but for the packaging as well. I purchased a two pack and they were shrink wrapped together so there was no chance for any product to leak out. I use this in my cold process soap recipes and it is very reliable. It does dissolve fast which is convenient. This particular lye is the tiny beads and not the flakes or powder. You must be careful when you pour it because they bounce so pour them into a container with higher sides. Here are a few pictures of soaps I made using this lye and also a close up of the lye ... show more

  • Best for pretzels Best for pretzels
Size: 2 lb Bottle (Pack of 1)
I’ve used this almost exclusively for pretzel making and it has worked great. I even did a whole loaf of sourdough “pretzelized” and it was one of the best things I ever made.

  • Perfect for soap making
Size: 2 lb Bottle (Pack of 2)
Very easy to use. This sodium hydroxide melts easily without any clumps and it is very effective in my handmade cold process soaps. With this product be sure to wear your safety gears (such as safety eye glasses, gloves, long sleeve shirt, and mask) when handling and/or using this product as it will irriate your skin upon direct contact. ... show more

  • Pure Product resulting in excellent yields
Size: 2 lb Bottle (Pack of 1)
The Duda Energy 2 lb Red Hot Devil Lye Sodium Hydroxide is an outstanding product. The purity of this food-grade caustic soda is impeccable, making it perfect for my soap-making and other culinary projects. It’s crucial to note the difference between food-grade and industrial-grade lye, even if both are labeled as “pure lye.” This product meets the Food Chemical Codex, ensuring it’s safe and suitable for food-related applications, unlike industrial-grade lye, which may contain impurities. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and consistency of this product. It dissolves quickly and works efficiently, providing excellent results every time. Highly recommend it to anyone who needs high-grade, pure sodium hydroxide for food or other sensitive uses. ... show more

  • Good Stuff!
Size: 2 lb Bottle (Pack of 3)
It took a couple of tries because by sink was backed up. When the clog finally cleared it left a pleasant popping and sizzling sound, just the way I like it. One must be careful not to melt the PVC but it's so much more convenient than manually unclogging the pipe. I love it!
