Pure Calcium Hydroxide [Slaked Lime] ⊘ Non-GMO Gluten-Free Vegan - 50g/2oz

Works great for waterglassing fresh eggs.

As described

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 Amazon, 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.

Product works well and taste good. The packaging however is poor and if you are going to buy this product make sure you transfer the calcium hydroxide into a different container. The seal opened in my bag and had a minor spillage.

i am using it the glass my extra eggs. easy to use!

I use this every year when I can pickles. It keeps them crisp in the jar . The ones in the store that advertise themselves as pickling lime for crispness do not work nearly as well. You just must be very careful and rinse them well at least 3 times after soaking the cucumbers overnight. Be careful doing this as the slices are very crisp and fragile.

I’m sure this is a fine cooking product, but I bought it mistakenly with an eye to its use as a dental aid. I was going thru a DIY dentistry phase and calcium hydroxide is used in a filling to prevent or slow the resumption of decay. But what I didn’t realize was that the dental kind is buffered to be ph neutral and not burn a hole thru your cheek, which this would. Yabba dabba do!

I use calcium hydroxide along with magnesium hydroxide to create faux sparkling mineral water that is comparable to Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water at a tiny fraction of the cost. I believe the purity of the calcium hydroxide is superior to other bulk lime products used for pickling - and that's why I use it. I put about 2 grams of calcium hydroxide and 6 grams of magnesium hydroxide, plus a pinch of Himalayan sea salt into 5 gallons of water in a corny keg. I charge the water with CO2 at 35lbs using an air-stone. The calcium and magnesium hydroxides react with the CO2 to create bicarbonates. The product is delivered "on tap" from my kegerator. Very refreshing - at only a few pennies a glass.
