I dilute it and then poor it on my drive way. Cleans the driveway. Dilute it and poor it down my sink. It's lye used to unclog drains. If you add just as much vinegar as you do sodium hydroxide, it neutralizes the solution. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for baking *by B***. on March 30, 2025* Perfectly good baking lye at a fair price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well for Pretzels. *by C***S on April 29, 2025* We use this for making pretzels and pretzel burger buns. It shipped well sealed and works very well in our home kitchen, I would definitely recommend if you are making pretzels and want to move beyond just baking soda. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for making authentic pretzels *by T***N on January 15, 2021* When I told my experienced baker friend that I wanted to make real, authentic German pretzels, he told me I must have food-grade lye and diastatic malt powder. Be sure to read the instructions completely since lye is corrosive—wear gloves. German bakers dip the unbaked, shaped pretzel dough in a diluted lye bath. This gave my California-made pretzels taste like the real thing! I used the King Arthur recipe. ## Frequently Bought Together - 5 oz Food Grade Sodium Hydroxide Lye Evenly-Sized Micro Pels (Beads or Particles) - 5 oz Bottle - Lye Drain Cleaner - HDPE Container with resealable Child Resistant Cap and Handle - Pretzel Coarse Sea Salt for Soft Pretzels, Heat Resistant Bagel and Soft Pretzel Salt, All Natural for Baking, 5 oz Bag - Scratch Diastatic Malt Powder for Baking - (10oz) Dried Barley Malt for Baking Bread - Bread Improver - Premium Baking Ingredients for Breads, Pizzas, Pretzels, Desserts, Shakes and More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/175360764-essential-depot-5-oz-food-grade-sodium-hydroxide-lye-evenly](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/175360764-essential-depot-5-oz-food-grade-sodium-hydroxide-lye-evenly) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
