A soap-making method where oils and lye are combined and then heated, accelerating the saponification process. This results in a quicker soap production compared to cold process soap. The soap is then cooked and stirred until it reaches a gel-like consistency, followed by molding and a shorter curing time. Hot process soap-making creates a rustic appearance and may be suitable for those who prefer a faster turnaround for their handcrafted soaps.
