We’re looking at a natural-borne teacher, folks! 💯 even though she’s trying to sort of hurry along, she speaks quickly, yet articulately and is very knowledgeable. Her mannerisms and syntax puts you at ease.

At 18:58, Corie: I can’t do anything today.” Corie, you are amazing. You’re so natural in front of the camera, so good-hearted, and you speak so articulately, I believe you could do on any given day about anything you set your mind to. Super interesting demonstration, young lady.

Anyone else think Corie is the coolest? 🙂

Don't "sloch" the lye, it'll "burn the tar out of you". I love this channel. There is a difference between mountain folk and people from other rural regions.

Great job Corie! She’s a wonderful teacher and she’s a natural beauty!!

"Appalachian Chemistry" Soap Making 101 Now we need to learn "Distillations".

I’ve watched many demos on soap making, and by far, this was the most comprehensive one I’ve seen. Excellent job explaining this whole process, Corie! And many thanks for sharing! God love you.

Corie is a sweetheart! I loved her show-and-tell, reminded me of my mother and her soap-making days when I was a child. I can't wait to see my momma again!

I never watched my grandmothers making soap, but I remember them telling me how they did it. They used a porcelain dishpan and a large porcelain soup pot. They even could make their own lye from wood ashes out of the stove. Both used tallow and bacon grease. We used it mostly in doing laundry so there were no fragrances added. I just remember how it would clean work overalls and get out stains. One grandpa was a mechanic and the other was a blacksmith. They both got pretty dirty. Thanks Corie for a great demonstration.

This child needs to be a teacher!!! She’s soooo good at instructing!! You go cori!!!

Your daughter did a spot on job, she should be proud! Watching her a few times a body wouldn't need to go to a class. Enjoyed the chat & demo thank you for sharing.....ATB

I've watched lots of KZfaq videos regarding many different subjects. But, this has been the most informative by far! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for including us all as we Celebrate Appalachia.

My Grandma used to make all our soap,but she used the hot soap method. We used it for everything!:)

This was very informative and would love to see a video of the next step how you cut and store for the curing process! Great job👍

My grandmother made homemade dish soap in a large iron kettle. If l remember correctly she used lard that she couldn't use for cooking any longer. I do remember washing dishes with it.

You can grate this kind of soap to use in the clothes washer. It will melt in hot water. It makes your whites VERY white and lye soap makes your clothes smell a special kind of clean. This was a lovely presentation, excellent. My grandmother made soap too. Her recipe is in our family cookbook. Thank you.

I noticed this has already been said in some comments below, if she isn’t going to be a teacher, she should really think about it. She has a great way of communicating and calm presents. Great video! Thank you for sharing!

Thats how my grandmother made soap,,,great video,,,I've never been in a Wal-Mart....

I have to say that this is the most interesting how to video I’ve ever seen. She held my attention thru the whole video. She’s a good teacher. Thank you for sharing

I remember hearing my mom and grandma talking about making soap. I enjoyed seeing this.

For YEARS, I waited on temperatures to match, lye water, and heated fats....for YEARS! Now I add weighed, solid fats and hot lye water, whisk to melt, then EVOO, stir to trace, add goodies, and done...less than an hour....I learned from you that over incubation is not necessary, thanks everso!

Three years ago I watched this video. After watching others as well I started making soap for family and friends. Thank you so much Corie! You started me out on my soap making journey! We love the handmade soap so much. Leaves skin so soft!! Viewers: She also has another instructional video on her channel - thepressleygirls.

I love seeing the kids in your videos ❤️they are multi talented singing gardening making soap etc you’re blessed mom🙏🏾

Always liked the goat milk with oatmeal or grits soap. Thanks for the video!

I love the way she says "Tare" a lot of my family says it like that, but we are Ozark hill folk not the Appalachian hill folk... One of the things I love so much about this channel is a lot of the words you folks use we do too, some of them with little to no definition change

Thank you little sister for teaching me roots..

Very good demo, Corie. I've made homemade soap using the hot method (in a heavy pot on stove top), and sometimes add one cup of uncooked oatmeal for every dozen regular size soap bars, for exfoliating purposes.

Thank you so much girls! You took the fear out of this for me!!!♥️ 👏🏼

Allyson wants to see the final result!! She loved this video. As always, a great job Tipper (and Corie)!

I remember my grandma making Lye soap in her cast iron wash pot. Wonderful memories!

So nice to watch! You have the most lovely tone and accent to your voice, wanted to tell you that...Great job! I also took a class some years ago to make soap..I was hooked for a number of years, I made soap, gifted soap, sold a little soap and then stopped several years ago..Now, I am getting the itch again.. Soaping served as a mental therapy for me too, after my Mom passed..Our teacher had us all in the class to take turns hand stirring the soap batter till reaching trace..I believe she did her soaps all by hand, but once I discovered the stick blender, no more hand mixing for me, lol..She also had us do our own calculations of the SAP values for the recipes..Yikes, not good for a math challenged person like me! First time I tried my own recipe that way, I ruined a batch, something was off...I definitely think it is crucial especially for beginners to use a lye calculator online, I use soap calc.net which is fool proof..And a stick blender, like you said! One question, did that essential oil come through for that large batch? I tend to like stronger fragrances soap so I use about .7 oz per pond of oils or up to an ounce per pound depending...Would love to see the soap cut! Thanks for helping to inspire me to soap again! I plan on making a high olive recipe with some coconut and castor oil, with milk and maybe some honey, ground oats and some blend of Essential Oils...Take care and thanks again!!

Awesome Video! Corie, You did great! I remember myself Great Grandmaw making Lye Soap! I was around 5 yrs old so its been 62 years since I saw it made! Thank you God Bless. 🙏🙏❤❤

I love this channel! This was very informative!! Awesome job by both of these ladies!!!

Corie is delightful. Great lesson.

Super fascinating, Corie, thank you! We've only ever done the hot process and I'm keen to try this!

This was a really informative and still relaxed soap making video. Great stuff.

Great demonstration! Thank you!

Is there anything your family can't do??!! So many talents. I really enjoyed watching the whole soap making process. Thank you to Corie for sharing her skill. Hope y'all have a blessed week. 💞

Corie, that's so cool! I've used your soap for years---and love it--- but it's fun to see your process. I know how maticuluous your are in everything you do and I see that includes your soap making. I would not think of using any soap but yours. Seeing your process will make me see your soap differently, a reverant attitude toward this quality soap! Thanks for sharing your process!

Corie, You explained the process perfectly. I've been making soap for years and I couldn't even begin to tell anyone the how to do it even half as well as you did. You are amazing.

Kori did an awesome job teaching. I’m sure your very proud of her! Blessings🙏🏻💖

Loved the video! Awesome job! My grandma made soap and I’m so thankful that you’re keeping the tradition alive.

Oh, well done! This is a skill I've always wanted to have, and you're such a natural teacher. Lucky me! Thanks! ⚘

I love hearing the birds chirping

Thank you for sharing!!!!! Very cool to watch

What a great video. Lovely to see mum and daughter working together. Planning to do this. X

I truly enjoyed watching that. Thank you!

Finally! Easy, straight forward and honest. I'm so happy I found this video! Thank You!

Very thorough and informative! Thank you for posting this video. I really enjoyed it.

Very nicely done Corie. Thanks for sharing. Have never used homemade soap. ,

I love homemade soaps. Thanks for showing this video!

this was fun to watch never thought about where soap comes from

Another great video! Deanna has been wanting to make some soap so now she has a teacher to watch. Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting! Great job! Another way to be self sufficient! Thanks for sharing!

She gave an excellent presentation, well spoken and an eye for details. I enjoyed this.

Great presentation, excellent speaker and a very informative video. Thank-you for this!

Such a delightful young woman! So much good information... thank you!

Love this..thanks for sharing!

CORIE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING TIME TO SHARE WITH US YOUR RECIPE, AND SHOW US HOW TO MAKE SOAP.

Thanks for the inspiration and ingredients, I hope to be making my own soap soon. Someone has raised a wonderful person.

Excellent job Tipper Jr!!!

Thanks for another fascinating video. What a resourceful family!

Wonderful video. You're a born teacher.

Corie, watching this brings my mama to mind. I still remember her making lye soap in our basement for her laundry soap (wringer washer, don’t ya know). She would pour it in a cardboard box bottom lined with waxed paper. Nothin fancy, just plain old lye soap. She had the whitest white clothes ever. SO - about the vinegar neutralizing the lye … there absolutely is science behind it. Lye is highly alkaline. Vinegar is highly acidic. Hitting a lye burn with the vinegar brings down that pH and neutralizes the lye lickety split. Fun, informative video!! Well done!

Awesome! Thanks for the great video.

Very awesome video. I’ve never made that kind of soap before. I really like Grampas Pine Tar Soap, when washing my face. I’ve used it for years. I bet your homemade soap is wonderful ❤️

Thank you for the class! I always enjoy well-prepared presenters who clearly describe the process - well done.

That's wonderful she knows how to make soap!! I'd like to some day. She did a wonderful job!!👍👏 God bless y'all!

My mother talked about using the wood stove ash to make to make soap.

Fabulous instructions, beautiful young lady. I believe you are an old soul. Thank you for sharing. 🌻

Corie, Thanks for the lesson! Great information. Super presentation!

Love y'all this is great and informative!

She awesome ! 👍🏼Such a grounded person and confident in all the right ways! 💁🏻☀️💕

Thank you, this video was very helpful.

She is a really good teacher. Clear instruction with reasons for instructions. This was a great video. 👍❤

Good job explaining the soap making process. Very interesting.

I love this lifestyle. You guys are great! Thanks for all the videos. Keep makin cool homemade items and being creative. ❤

This was so much fun! Thanks for teaching us how to make soap. Yours is always so pretty. I have found homemade soap to be so much better on my skin.

Very well taught. You have a very high command of the English language. I would like to see more of you teaching

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

I loved watching how you make soap, Corie! I have made it and always did that long process of waiting until the temp of the oil and temp of the water/lye mixture was exactly the same, and oh, my! What a trial it is to do it that way! I never know you could do it the way you showed in the video, so this is wonderful news! I haven't made any soap for several years, but seeing your video makes me want to get back into it sometime. I have ordered your soap and it was WONDERFUL! Such great quality. You are such a blessing in so many ways, and I trust the Lord will return many blessings back to you!

Thanks for making this video never seen anyone make soap

Excellent video Corie! I have made soap before but it was years ago. I have been intimidated by the idea of doing it again. You make it seem so simple by breaking it down in easy steps. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks so much!

She’s an amazing teacher.

Making soap is incredibly satisfying.

Love love this video

I really enjoyed this video and you made it so easy to understand. Thank you!

Wonderful! Thank you!!

Thank you for teaching this class !

This is so interesting!

Very nice job! The instructions were clear, and it was really enjoyable to watch😊

I’ve been wanting to make soap, thank you for this video! I also moved to the Appalachia region from TX & my family was once from these parts. Thanks for the wonderful & educational video!

Thank you so much for sharing your skill in soap making! I’m excited to try it!

Thanks Corie! That was a good demonstration. I wanted to learn this. ☺️

Very interesting video. i think it's great that you do this for the family.

Absolutely fantastic.

Awesome video! Very informative from a wonderful young lady! Your parents should be proud!

I always wanted to learn the art of soap making. Thanks for the video!

Well that's much easier than I had thought. Thanks and thanks for entertaining and informing me as I work nights as well as the Presley Girls music on KZfaq Music entertaining me on my trip home yesterday morning! You guys are the best!
