I use these to sprinkle over the top of soap. BTW the best "drier" I've come across is the metal plate on our logburner (the plate that protects the mantelpiece). I pop the peel on that and its usually bone dry within 48 hours. I turn the peel a few times during the day. Also gives a nice perfume to the room whilst drying :-) Maggie _____ From: soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rouse Pauline A Sent: Thursday, 19 August 2010 9:52 a.m. To: 'soapcraft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [soapcraft] orange peel I have sliced off and dried some orange peel to put in soap but it has gone quite hard and sharp so would it be best to grind it to almost a powder.
