    PSA be careful buying lye. It has other uses than soap making, including stripping of carcasses to the bone, and then turning the fat into soap. If you order enough you might get a visit from your friendly government agent.

    Corrected as to what it does.

      lye (sodium hydroxide) has all sorts of uses and for cleaning your pan you don’t need it dry. Just buy a cleaning agent containing it.

      It is one of the most used chemical products and i strongly doubt that anyone having normal uses for it will ever get a government visit.
