i have melted all my TGQ soaps into containers. i prefer to use the "double boiler" method myself. i put a pan of water on the stove with oh 2" of water in it and then i put my soap into a 2cup pyrex glass measuring cup and put that into the pot of water. this way works fantastically and you don't have to worry about burning the soap or over cooking.

you can microwave the soaps ofcourse. but doing it make sure you don't overdue it. i usually do 8 seconds to start, then bursts of 5seconds after that till melted. only will take 8+5+5 usually to be fully done.

pour it into your container, then i put it into the freezer for 30min. then take it out and let it sit room temperature for a day before use.

that being said. i always find that the soap preforms poorly for the first 2'ish times of use after melting it. im not sure why this is but it seems to hold true. so when you do it don't be disheartened if the first or second use after the melting isn't up to par.
