## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do you dispose of the solution after use?**
A: A couple of ways.  I dilute it and then poor it on my drive way. Cleans the driveway. Dilute it and poor it down my sink. It's lye used to unclog drains.   If you add just as much vinegar as you do sodium hydroxide, it neutralizes the solution.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for making authentic pretzels
*by T***N on January 15, 2021*

When I told my experienced baker friend that I wanted to make real, authentic German pretzels, he told me I must have food-grade lye and diastatic malt powder. Be sure to read the instructions completely since lye is corrosive—wear gloves. German bakers dip the unbaked, shaped pretzel dough in a diluted lye bath. This gave my California-made pretzels taste like the real thing! I used the King Arthur recipe.
