Review: Pure calcium hydroxide - slaked lime - crispy batter - After watching a Top Chef use slaked lime as a deep fat frying crisping agent in batter, I went looking for "the ingredient". I noticed a couple of slaked lime products here on desertcart, but was hesitant reading reviews and product source. I have purchased multiple Modernist Pantry chemical agents in the past so I know they are legit, pure, and ready to use. In Thailand, calcium hydroxide (or slaked lime - specifically, the clear water obtained by mixing it with water and letting the solids settle) is used as a portion of the liquid in mixing batters on deep-fried items, I used it to make something quick to test -- specifically chicken fingers with a seasoned flour-corn starch batter -- and the batter turned out crispy and adherent to the quickly fried fingers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I need lime water. Is this used to make lime water?**
A: Yes.

**Q: When nixtamalizing corn, how much should be used? My corn had fallen apart based on recommended values from various sources, 1lb corn:1/8th cup lime**
A: My grandma's recipe called for 1.5 "cucharadita" (teaspoon) per kg. of dry corn.  1 lb is approximately 450 grams of kernels, so 3/4 teaspoon calcium hydroxide per pound of corn?

**Q: is this 100% pure Calcium Hydroxide? or is there something else added?**
A: There is nothing added, it's just calcium hydroxide.

**Q: Why does the red warning label at the back say it shouldn't be ingested and may cause death?**
A: Because that's exactly what might happen, it could cause death. Calcium hydroxide is a very strong base similar to potassium or sodium hydroxide (Lye). Follow directions carefully!.

Good product

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great intro product
*by J***S on May 1, 2021*

Yeah, worked great for my pretzels! The whole 'food grade chef' thing worked well to allay the fears of my roommate who wasn't sure I wasn't trying to kill us. They LOVED the pretzels. It only contained enough for a couple batches, and I bought a 16oz container of a different brand for just a few bucks more. But for an into product, great. All stars.
