Guest guest Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Maggie, you can but I am just not sure what you would look for in running it thru the lye calculator. I would think that the canola would make it a softer soap too. Maybe someone else has used this oil and can give you better advise? Shaye I saw some canola/olive/soy oil in the store today.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 me again Maggie, All three have a similar sap value so maybe you can just split up the amount of oil you are using and type in equal amounts for each oil? Just a guess actually Shaye <http://geo./serv?s=97359714/grpId=2226641/grpspId=1705162404/msgId =32150/stime=1186540770/nc1=4718984/nc2=4776372/nc3=4670553> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Maggie, I've tried corn with great success with the addition of coconut, palm. I used shea butter as superfat.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Maggie, Sorry, I must have read this message with my eyes closed. I swear, I read, " corn " in there somewhere. If this is a combo oil with canola/olive/soy together then you would have to know what percentage of each individual oil is in the blend to determine what numbers you're going to plug into the lye calculator as Shaye stated. Sometimes it's stated on the bottle, for example: 90% canola, 10% olive for frying.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 it is best not to overheat olive oil If using in cooked dishes - add towards the end - eg I water sautee greens and then would add it towards the end so it does not really fry many people use it for frying and it does not do well at too high hears. I feel nauseated now when i have it this way rice bran oil is very heat stable and hardly absorbs into the food so it is a great choice for tempura and deep fried and shallow fried dishes i also still use sesame or toasted seseam oil and now camelia tea oil when using oil in cooking which is not that often just now i used the latter to grill pumpkin and zucchini and that worked well. purpleveg wrote: Ilanit is the specialist on this, she loves rice bran oil.
