crock pot for melting wax? there was a certain brand of crock pot that is suppose to be good for melting wax?

Question

for candlemaking. does anyone know? what do you melt your wax in?

Answer 1

I've always used a double boiler (basically, a pot of water boiling [or simmering] with another pot with the wax on top/inside of it)
Beings I'm not using it for food, I buy mine at thrift stores.

Answer 2

You'll be much better off with an electric skillet and use stainless containers in that. This way the wax isn't really on the tool that heats up, and if you make a really horrible mess you can just throw the stainless container away.

This is how I melt wax when I do batik.
