This product is a good quality product. It worked well for soap making.
I would use this product again in soap making.

WHAT IS THERE TO SAY ABOUT LYE? I USE IT FOR SOAP MAKING. IT ARRIVED QUICKLY.IT WORKS GREAT. THIS IS WHERE I BUY MY LYE EVERYTIME.

I used this product and my pretzels turned out excellent. I followed all of the safety precautions and didn't have a problem.

In my quest to recreate a Philly style soft pretzel, I knew I needed a strong alkaline bath... much stronger than what baking soda would give me. I purchased this lye from Amazon and used it with great success. The lye bath gave that great crunchy outside while the inside of the pretzel was still soft and hot. If you're going to make soft pretzels, definitely go this route. Search "lye bath for pretzels" and plenty of great recipes will pop up which include safety instructions since lye can be a dangerous chemical to keep in the kitchen.

Normally I am not one to take time out of my day to write review, but I have to say, these guys did a phenomenal job getting my package out and shipped to me. I got it WAY sooner than expected. I'm assuming someone decided to ship it faster than what I paid for. I opened it as soon as I got off of work and made some delicious soft pretzels with the lye. Thank you thank you thank you so much!

It is what it is, as advertised.

The name of the product is a little annoying, resembling the now-discontinued Red Devil lye that was formerly the most recognized brand.

Bought for my sister.
She makes soap with it, I think.

Price was not too great, but okay.
