Stainless-steel bowl for melting wax in a bain-marie: 14 cm across and 6 deep, 27 cm long with the sleeved handle, two pouring lips and a wire hook that hangs it from the rim of a 12 to 26.5 cm pot. About half a litre of useful capacity.
The wax never touches the flame: the bowl hangs from the rim of the pot and the water acts as thermostat.
01 · WHAT FOR
It is the melter for small batches: one or two candles, a cream, or waxing the bars of a mating nuc. Beeswax melts between 62 and 65 °C and scorches past 85: in a bain-marie the water never exceeds 100 and the wax does not overheat.
02 · HOW TO USE IT
The wire hook rests on the rim of the pot and the sleeved handle stays out of the steam; on 12 to 26.5 cm pots it hangs without touching the bottom. Gentle simmer, wax in pieces, and pour from whichever lip suits, without filling to the brim. Keep water out of the wax: it spits. Gloves: the bowl burns even if the handle does not.
03 · CAPACITY AND CLEANING
How much it holds, the question from the mailbox: by its dimensions, about half a litre useful, some 400-450 grams of wax per batch; the maker does not publish the figure. Clean it while hot with paper; wax never goes down the sink.
04 · BEFORE YOU BUY
The pot, the wax and the moulds come separately.
| ✓ FITS | Small batches of wax for candles, cosmetics or waxing bars, in the kitchen and without a wax melter. |
| ✕ DOESN’T FIT | Melting kilos: for that, a wax melter or a ladle over a boiler. And putting it straight on the flame: it is made to hang from the pot. |
