4 pound Pouring Pot

I purchased this pot to melt wax for candle making. I already owned a similar pot I purchased some years ago for much more money. This pot is just as high quality as the more costly ones. It works well for me in my crafting projects. The plastic handle makes it easy to use while the wax in it melts as it does not burn my hand while also allowing me to control the pot. It is a good size for melting 2 to 3 pounds of wax. I would be hesitant to use much more, but then again I am no pro. Nice product.

I just used this pot for the first time to make candles. I followed a previous poster's info about using an electric frying pan to heat the pot. It worked like a charm! I was careful about the amount of wax I used at first. As I became more confident, I added more. I had no trouble pouring the liquid wax because my pot was never more than half full. The outside bottom does discolor, but it doesn't matter because it doesn't affect the quality of the liquid wax. I'm really happy that I purchased this and didn't try to use something I already have in my kitchen.

I decided to make candles for favors for my upcoming wedding. Keep in mind that I am not crafty and this was a big venture for me. I purchased 2 as I was needing to make 150 4oz mason jar candles and wanted to get them done in a day. The pots worked perfectly!! We considered doing just a cheap pot and throwing it away when we were done. But I was so thankful I decided to purchase these! They heated up quickly and equally. I used soy wax shavings. The spout makes for very easy pouring too!

I use this pouring pot for my candle business. It is durable, easy to clean, and holds enough wax for 2 9 oz. candles or 1 16 oz. candle.

This pot works for my beginner candle making needs. I haven't had any issues using it and the pour spout doesn't drip like some do. The only problem is cosmetic, the outside of the pour pot looks awful after only using it a couple of times. There is nothing corrosive in the water I'm using the pot in, but it just looks tarnished. This isn't an issue for me since no one sees my pouring pot but me and it doesn't change the usability but some people might not like it.

I’ve had these for 4 yrs now and still does the job

We got this for my wife so she could start with some DIY candles that she's been dying to make. At first we were using the wax melting bags, which in all honesty were very cumbersome to use. I saw this pouring pot on a DIY blog, and they strongly suggested it, so we gave it a shot. It makes candle making sooo easy! Also clean up is super simple. Just heat up the remaining wax and with a paper towel wrapped on a wooden spoon, wipe it right up and discard. No more fiddling around with melting bags. We also got a thermometer which pairs perfectly with this pot for an easy DIY candle system!

Simple aluminum container with hard non-metal handle. Exactly what I needed. This is used in a hot water bath. The height keeps water from splashing in and wrecking the candle. It allows making a few candles at a time only having to add dye and scent one time. It keeps the wax from splashing into the burner, starting a fire and burning down the house. Thing is that all of the sellers are selling the same one so the buyer is the key here. This was the best price for one shipped with prime (and 2 day too) and it was shipped on time and arrived when ordered. That is rare these days. Get this one from this seller!
