Superfat after cook?

[Nina]

Hi!
I was wondering if the superfat after cook option. When choosing this.. do I put in all oils including the superfat in the calculator, then save some oils outside the pot, cook the soap and then and add the left over oils?

Or is the superfat oils not part of the included oils in the recipe and I add what ever oil on top of the allready chosen oils?

Sincerely Nina

After using my calculator and counting a little I think I get that the superfat is not put into the chosen oils, but is added on top of it all. So for example, if I did a Castille soap only using olive oil and decide to use Hemp oil as superfat after cook I need to make a note of that, as the superfat only says amount, not type.

Am I right?

Yes, I think that’s the way to do it with a super fat after cook. I wonder if the software could be adapted to that option- I’ll put in a ticket for that and see if that’s something the developer can do.

I add the superfat after it is done cooking if you are making HP. I don't put in the calculator, add on top of it. I hope this helps you.

It's in the calculator already, so adding it again would double it. However, it's not broken down in the software which oil it is- so that's what I'm asking the developer to do.

I've added my Superfat into the recipe, however on printing it doesn't show the specific fat anywhere. Am I doing something wrong? It shows that I have a Superfat in the fats, oils, and waxes section and the amount, but doesn't specify what that fat is. Is there an explanation on how the Superfat option works?

It should show- can I have a link to the recipe so I can see what you are looking at?

I've attached 2 photos as well, the first one shows where I added the fat I want for Superfat in section 4, the second is my recipe print out. Thank you!

I have taken off the "private" setting, sorry didn't realize.

I don't see in the recipe where you added the shea butter(?).

 

[Johnez]

That's the thing, I select Shea butter from the drop down like it shows in the pic I attached, but I don't know what to do from there to get it to "save" the fact that I selected shea butter as a superfat. I hit save, I go back to the Superfat drop down, and it's like I didn't select it at all. In addition, nowhere in "print" recipe can I find it.

 

[Yooper]

Let me give it a try. You wanted shea butter for the 5% superfat?

Now I see what you mean. I’ll get this over to the developer right away. Thanks for spending the time showing me.
