Bechet45 said:I'm too much a purist to go mixing with other soaps and too lazy to grate such a chunk - so I nuked mine. Ten seconds at full power, little 'rests' between while I inspected the result. After the third bout of ten seconds I found the underneath was hot, as dodgy predicted but I didn't read that in time. So I gave up nuking and intensified the pressure and lo! gradually got the required spread so my puck now fits my pot, which pleases me.

Personally I wouldn't nuke it, it being tallow based, if you do be darned careful, easy to overdo it and totally banjax it. As long as the container is roughly the right size there's no need for it to fit perfectly, unless that offends your OCD.
