## Overview

Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), 2 lbs, is a 99%+ pure, food-grade alkali essential for gourmet food prep, artisanal soap making, and powerful cleaning. Packaged in moisture-resistant HDPE, it delivers professional results from crispy German pretzels to flawless saponification, trusted by culinary and craft experts alike.

## Description

This is the highest quality food bleach available. Also known as NaOH and Caustic Soda This is an inorganic chemical, at least 99% pure. It is a solid, highly caustic metal base and alkaline salt. Sodium hydroxide is soluble in water, ethanol and methanol. This alkali is deliquescent and easily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide into the air. In soap making: bleach is mixed with water to create a solution of bleach. The bleach solution, when mixed with fats and oils, will cause a chemical reaction called saponification (fancy for soap). The result of saponification is a beautiful handmade soap. In Food Preparation: Sodium hydroxide food uses include the large ash or chemical peeling of fruits and vegetables, chocolate and cocoa processing, caramel coloring production, poultry scald, soda processing, and thickening ice cream. Olives are often soaked in sodium hydroxide to smooth; German pretzels and bleach rolls are enameled with a sodium hydroxide solution before baking to make them crispy. Due to the difficulty in obtaining food grade sodium hydroxide in small quantities for household use, sodium carbonate is often used in place of sodium hydroxide. In cleaning: industrial or technical, grade bleach is often used as a cleaner and is the active ingredient in common drain cleaners. Sodium silicate is often used as a corrosion inhibitor to prevent bleach from running through tubes while removing blockage. Citric acid, or other acids, are often used in coordination with bleach as it creates an exothermic (heat) reaction to leave sodium acetate (a salt) and water. An alternative but less effective alternative is baking soda.

Fabulous for soapmaking. Easy to use without risking unnecessary exposure, dissolves well, good quality. My soap set up great. I've also made pretzels with it and it is perfect for that as well. Works super well and is a decent deal for the amount!
