NileRed | Turning soap into oil and making French fries @NileRed | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 8 hours ago
In my previous video, I made soap from vegetable oil. It got me wondering, is it possible to go backwards? Can I make oil from soap?

This is my first attempt to do this and I think I will try it again in the future. I wouldn't use the same procedure though, because I don't think this one was too good. The high heat let to a lot of glycerol breaking down and I think a lot of side reactions.

Method I followed for this video: goo.gl/OltwDL
Other possible method: goo.gl/ELZbSo
