Teach Soap

Hello

Today I was in target, trying to get all my supplies together- but I am stumped. In one youtube video I saw a woman mixing her lye in heat resistant plastic pitchers with lids on them. I found some nice ones with lids but no where on the label did it mention that it was heat resistant. None of the plastic jugs or pitchers did. Another video I saw showed the lye being mixed in a pyrex measuring cup. Okay, so I looked and found some pyrex measuring cups with some nice rubber lids. But the label mentions to avoid extreme temperatures. I read that lye gets to about 5 degrees hotter than boiling water- which for me is an extreme temperature.

Which should I use? Does anybody know of a specific "brand" that specifies that their containers are heat proof? What have you used with success?

Also is it best to use stainless steel spoons when mixing, wood or plastic?

Thanks and sorry for the long post!

it has to be dishwasher safe

I've had a glass pitcher crack and break. I only use a thick plastic pitcher. I bought it at the Dollar store.
I wouldn't use a wooden spoon, as over time it can disinegrate and splinter. These splinters could end up in your soap. Use a thick plastic spoon instead, or one of those all rubber utensils.
