The Boyer Corporation Lye for Soap Making, Sodium Hydroxide Pure High Test Lye Food Grade, Caustic Soda, Drain Cleaner and Clog Remover, 2.2 lbs.

The product is good quality. I'm using for getting the black residue off of old cast iron skillets so I can restore them. The plastic container is thick and the lid seals well, which I appreciate.

Great product for soap making. I do recommend using safety precautions when using

I use this for making cold process soap. It works as expected if you measure properly and use proper protection when mixing.I like that it's granular so it's easier to get exact measurements. Will buy again as needed.

Food-grade is nice. Consistent quality. I use it for making soap.

Bought it to make soap haven't used it for that but I have used it to clean bathroom drains & it works great! I am not a fan of having to use personal protective equipment (gloves) but the house is old so are the drains using this beats having clogged drains

I purchased this food-grade lye for both pretzel-making and soap-making, and it’s been a fantastic product! For baking, it creates that authentic pretzel crust we all love, giving the dough a deep golden-brown color and a signature chewy texture. I’ve also used it for soap-making, and it performs wonderfully—creating smooth, high-quality bars with a rich lather.That being said, it’s incredibly important to follow the safety directions closely. Lye is a powerful substance, and working with it requires proper precautions, such as using gloves and eye protection, and ensuring you're working in a well-ventilated area. I always make sure to carefully read the instructions to avoid any mishaps.If you’re looking for quality food-grade lye for pretzels, soap, or other uses, this product is definitely a great choice—just be sure to handle it safely!

There are so many uses for this lye since it is food grade. The crystals are uniform in size, making it easy to handle. My major use right now is in ridding my yard of moles, voles, and ground squirrels (aka gophers). A long handled spoon and a gloved hand are important for handling this product. Just put a spoon full down well inside the critter's hole and let them get a hot foot. I even had gophers coming up on my deck. Something had to be done before the wee beasties dug right into our basement. Nothing had worked in discouraging them until this. Just make sure it goes well down into the hole so it's not picked up unintentionally by other creatures. It may be an unconventional use for this product, but in two days I didn't have any more vermin camping on my doorstep.

I used this auger to dig out a deep trench. Worked like a charm to break down some hard pack sections. It was powerful yet not too heavy. Comes with a 4", 6", and 8" bits which if you bought separately would cost around $250. Great value.
