Don't throw away your old Crockpot! Wax and other melting alternative to double boiler!

We use a lot of used wax or petroleum jelly to make our Home made fire starters. Instead of using a double boiler we use an old crockpot. Paraffin wax catches on fire at about 390 degrees, on high a crockpot only reaches 300 degrees. This is a safe method to melt everything and very convenient. Plus dirt cheap at a thrift shop if you don't have a spare one like we did.

Can you do this for wax melts and just take some from the pot and then add your fragrance oil? Can you just keep remounting what you don’t use?

I am sure you could. i used it to wax bees wax to make a wood finish, as well as we used it to make candles for our wedding. you could probably use it as a wax warmer and make your own melts.
