Oatmeal Hot Process Soap

I have decided to make a couple hot process batches. These batches are made the same way as cold process, except once you get your soap to a heavy trace you cook it. Cooking it gets rid of the lye and most water right away. This means the soap does not have to cure as long as the cold process soap does -which is what I am aiming for right now. I need to get my stock up :) 
Getting supplies out to make my batches :) 

Stir until reaching a thick trace
Into the crockpot

It starts to cook, and bubble around the edges

Starting to slice

I love how to color turned it. It was of course not planned ;)
These will be available within the next 2 weeks. Next I am going to do a berry HP soap, wrapped in wool :)
