Sodium Hydroxide - Pure - Food Grade (Caustic Soda, Lye) (1 Pound Jar)

I use this for soap making and it does exactly what I need it to do! It also happens to come in handy when drains are clogged. Be careful and wear gloves when you're playing with it 😋

Purchased to be used for pretzel making. Hubby is happy with it

We purchased this to be used when baking soft pretzels when the recipe calls for a lye bath. It works really well and helps to create a chewy crust and a deep, caramelized color on your pretzels. It's easy enough to use that we allow our teenaged daughter to use it when she bakes after given the proper safety instructions and being supervised the first few times. The bottle arrived intact and well sealed. The childproof cap works as it should and the label includes clear safety instructions.

It dissolved just fine and produced the heat needed for my project I was working on.

This is great if you like to bake a good tasty brown crusted bagel or bagel bread, it lasts forever, always measure water first and the add the powder to the water, that way you never have a too concentrated solution that could risk burning you! The product is great, I’ve baked a lot of pretzel bread with it and I’m not even half through it, so the prize is great for the amount of

Works as advertised. Unfortunately, the bottle is large and I was hoping it would last me at least 2 years or so. However, as other have warned, this product has a self-life and appears to gradually diminish in potency no matter how well you store it. I was careful to keep my sealed well and stored in a cool, dark place. Yet, it still got weaker. By my estimate, it weakens to about 65% of what it was after a year.

Arrived securely sealed and packaged for safety. The product seems pure in quality. It was effective for my use of it a soap ingredient. I will buy again.

Lab quality, worked great
