Microwaving tallow soap is truly a stinky, terrible mess.:cen Don't ever try it!!

Ya gotta remember, tallow is animal fat. Heating it in a microwave is just overcooking it at a high paced rate of speed.
Thank you all for the advice about not microwaving the tallow soap. I'm glad I didn't have to make that mistake.
I wanted to give my GF some of the girly smelling Yardley soap to try as shaving cream, so I grated some of it into a bowl, thinking I could pack it down into a solid easily. Long story short, that didn't work, so I tried putting the metal shaving mug in some really hot water to melt it, but that didn't work either. I know I should just google this, and I'll get around to it eventually :)
