can you melt this in a crock pot. I am doing a craft and don't have access to a stove. Be heated in the crockpot and we can dip it out?

Yes. Just keep stirring on medium or low. Only problem is clean up might be difficult. This wax didn't want to come off anything we used.

No ,I just use a saucepan on the cook top. You need to keep checking the oats while they are simmering and keep stirring, so I do not think a crockpot is a good idea. You cannot just put it in a crockpot with lliquid and not check on it for a long time.Deb

If it is chocolate only, it needs to be floated on water in a double boil. This is difficult with an electric fondue pot. Add milk or cream to the chocolate while melting.

fill crock pot with water....you can add oil, like lavender or eucaliptys.... turn on high at least one hour before using. they get nice and hot. I use a silicone SLOTTED spoon to get them out, so I'm not sticking my hands in boiling hot water.

I suppose it all depends on whether the exterior of the crock pot gets hot to the touch or not. I'm assuming that the interior pot wasn't cracked and glued back together. If the interior pot (food containing pot) was cracked , I would advise not to use it,based on the reaction to heat, plus the possible toxins which could leech from the bonding agents in the adhesive into your food. If the exterior part of the crock pot doesn't produce any toxic fumes when heated and the epoxy continues to hold it together, I can see not reason why you can't use it. However , I would suggest that you do some research on the epoxy and read the materials data sheet and see for yourself how the epoxy reacts to heat sources above certain temperatures. ~JT~

Nope; sorry! I wouldn't recommend it. Just do that separately and then put it in the cooker.

I home cook also. I have actually been adding ground egg shells to the food before I start the crockpot. If I were to use this again, I would probably add it after. I don't know if cooking changes it.

This is helpful. I had wondered about the metal in non-stick pots and maybe that wouldn't be a problem. But my main soup pot is ceramic. Has anyone tried a metal immersion blender in those? or in a crock pot, which is also ceramic?

Hmm. I don't know about that. You could try it. We use it on the grill when we roast our turkeys on the grill. Never tried it in a crock pot.

I've been using mine almost every other meal for several months now and haven't noticed any melting whatsoever. I would imagine that melting would only occur if you kept it on high heat with no water in the pot.I wouldn't think twice about buying this product again even if it did melt. The time saved in cleaning this because I can easily throw it in the dishwasher sells it on its own.

I bought this pot to use for small meals. Used it the first day I got it. Plugged it in....added my ingredients and by dinner time that night had delicious stew. Using it like any other crock pot so I have no idea why it says that. But you can in fact cook in it. Maybe it means you can't use it on the stove.

you could, but why bother? Just put the couscous in a bowl and add boiling water. Cover with a plate and then fluff with a fork

you can use a crock pot and mix the solution per directions. BUT, once you use this crock pot, you can not use it again for Food. Please remember this. hope this helps you

No. It require's boiling temps to really melt. I still wouldn't recommend leaving it in such a hot place, but from my experience with hot temps like that, it doesn't melt.

If your oven temperature exceeds 375 degrees for more than 30 minutes the possibility of melting increases. I've done it and it is now partially stuck to my stove. Not sure why it isn't designed to withstand what could be considered an average oven temperature. Plastic will only withstand so much heat so it may be wise to see if there are non plastic ones availabie. So, yes, it will melt.

a LC pot should not be left unattended, since you are cooking either on the stove or in oven (unless your oven has auto-shutoff); a crockpot will turn off automatically. otherwise, i think cooking process and results are pretty close.

I don't see why not..you will never reach temps high enough to melt it or anything...however I would suggest just buying a separate boil pot...I bought the bayou classic 44 qt. My only complaint is it does not have gallon measurement markings..good brewing enjoy!!
