I just ordered more Lye and made the mistake of ordering Technical when I should have gotten food grade. Is there, anything I need to do differently? Do I use the same amounts or it one stronger than the other?

TIA

I've used both. I usually buy whichever one is cheaper. Just as long as it's just lye and nothing else, you'll be fine.

Thanks guys, I went back to the website where I bought it and they had that on the side of the page as one of the most commonly asked questions! I panicked when I got it and it was in different bottles. I'll just switch back when I need to order more. Thanks so much for the advice.

Food grade lye? :? Surely lye is never used for food.

Wow, you learn something every day :o Who would have thought? I'm going to check up and find out all the info about lye, and everything it's used for. This forum is so enlightening :)

Olives too. It's used to cure green olives. Some people swear that it's the lye that gives the good kind of pretzels (not the bagged snack kind) the great crusty sort of exterior, but I dunno. I'm not a pretzel fan.

Lye solution is also used to adjust a product's pH like a facial serum.
