  • Awesome for old cast iron skillets

    I worked for Burger King many moons ago & used lye to clean the broiler parts. I remembered how well it worked & recently bought some to clean some old & caked up cast iron skillets & other assorted things. I left them in for 2 days & took them out , hosed em off & it all looked brand new. Obviously I had to re-season them all but I'm very happy with the results. I highly recommend a strong lye solution (3 lbs. to 5 gallons of water) to clean any old bacon presses, old cast iron or anything. Be sure you wear gloves as well as eye protection. It WILL blind you if splashed into your eyes. I know that's a given for most people but there are some that don't realize that it will eat the skin right off your bones. Peace..

  • The Best for Making Soap

    Very Good Lye, I use it to make my own soap and it works great. My soap always turns out perfect every time. I will continue to use this brand.

  • Great product

    I just placed my second order. Essential Depot has the best lye for making soap. It is food grade and comes in a heavy plastic container. It ships very quickly. I order on ebay as opposed to ordering directly from their website. It is cheaper on their website but shipping is pretty high. They do have great essential oils but like I said their shipping rate is expensive. I ordered 11 (4oz) botlles of essential oils and 1 lb of shea butter and shipping was almost $30.

  • Lye Was No Lie

    Product performed as expected. No surprises, which is good. The only suggestion I would make is that the top be another color so it is easily distinguishable from other caps. I accidentally screwed the lye cap onto another bottle.

  • No reason for lye to cost so much money

    Bought it to clean cast iron. I have about 20 pieces, that need a good cleaning. It is quite a shame that the price of lye got so expensive and difficult to purchase. There was a time not to long ago when you could go to any store and buy a can of drain for avfew bucks. The worst part of it is the price increase and reduced availability has done nothing to stop illegal meth labs.

  • Best lye on eBay for soapmaking :)

    I use this for making soap. It's a better product (purity/consistency) with better packaging than the competition. You CAN use lower grade lye such as Red Devil for making soap, but I like this better for something I'm going to be using on my skin every day :)

  • A caustic bargain

    This is great for soap/bagels/pretzels. I've used the Essential Depot lye for 2-3 years on a regular basis and the quality has been consistent.

  • Pure Lye

    I took advice from an inexperienced soap maker and I'm glad I did. I tried using store products first. What a mistake! This product melts with ease and when added to water it goes clear with little stirring. It was perfect for my soap needs.
