If you use your crockpot to make soap, be prepared to never use it to cook food in again. Soap is made with lye, and while the soap is cooking and becoming that lovely stuff that you wash with, it is eating the glaze off of the crockpot and soaking into the pottery.

Soap that has been completely through its process is good and safe. Raw soap that is going through the process is not. Just keep it in mind.
