For those who have made lye pretzels

[weirdboy]

I think "food grade" probably indicates that the equipment and packaging used to manufacture and package the lye is food grade, rather than an indication that the lye itself is different. And maybe they make people wash their hands before working on the line at the factory.

I get mine from AAA Chemicals. I couldn't find anything locally. But I didn't really look that hard either.

I just got 2 2-lb containers from them. I think the food-grade was about $3 each. Packaged well, good deal. I recommend AAA chemical.

(I'm making them the right way this wkend!)
