how do you get your palm oil out of a bag? this is a bit large for my microwave?

how do you stir it so all the palm is not a the bottom?

should I just re box it?

Maybe once I get it melted.....

I can pour it in a box and then scoop it out for each batch?

The bag is boilable so you can use a double boiler maker and melt it on the stovetop. =)

Once melted you do need to mix or 'swish' it around. Yes, you need to do this every time you use it. As is cools and hardens it will settle into layers again.

is it good to keep reheating it though? it will still be good ???

Palm has to be reheated every time to distribute the stearic. It won't hurt the oil unless you overheat it and it burns.
There is a hydrogenated palm available that doesn't need to be melted before using. Soaper's Choice (Columbus Foods) carries it.

thank you. Just finished making my first batch trying to swirl. I only used one color to see how it does. To bad we can't see what's going on as it swirls in there.

thank you again for the help.

I felt better having it in a block I could scoop it out. So, I melted the whole bag and repackaged it:) I'm happy now:)

It is still best to melt and mix the entire thing before using it. Stearic acid likes to sink!
