Teach Soap

Hi all. Here's a pic of my third batch. I got something kind of different than what I pictured in my mind, but I still think they turned out nice.

They are Cranberry Fig. I was hoping for more contrast in the colors. In my mind it was going to be a purple/ burgundy and a lighter pink. My first attempt at coloring I got nervous about adding too much and staining my poor guinea pigs (friends) washcloths. The swirls turned out nice though. There are cranberry seeds in the top layer for a little exfoliation.

Also, I saw this fridge bin at my home store for $5. I like that it is as taller. Also, I know this will fit in my stupid side by side freezer that won't even hold a frozen pizza. I did the math and it should hold about 4lbs of soap, but is it safe to use? I plan to line it and I haven't really paid much attention to either forcing or stopping the gel phase. The few batches I have done I just left on the counter to do their own thing. It is a decent thickness of plastic but it doesn't say that it is dishwasher safe anywhere. I know other posters have said that dishwasher safe materials can usually take enough heat for soap molds. There are so many sizes and shapes of these available I hope I found a score! What do you think?

Those are some pretty soaps, WildChick!
Does the fridge bin have anything stamped on the bottom? Most plastics containers will have the type of plastic on the bottom somewhere.

cute cat in the photo!

I checked all over for any markings but I couldn't find any. I guess I'm just gonna have to try it and see what happens.

That's funny I didn't even notice that the cat was sneaking into the pic. She is terribly nosy and has be involved in all doings in our house.
