Can this pot be used to heat paraffin wax?

Yes, I'm not sure what your using it for but its not big enough to use for hands or feet. Hope this helps.
1300516
yes, but is not as big as for professional use, and it takes a long time to heat up.

I would think you can. I looked it up on the web and this is where it took me Belle 400ml Waxing Pot Kit Depilatory Machine Wax Warmer for Women,Hair Removal SPA Salon Tool,110VJust copy and past that in your browser. I think the Belle wax/pot will work the same if not better, you are able to take the wax pot out for easy cleaning. I use the non-strip wax in mine. It does wonders but its hard to find it at a good price for at least a 5lbs bag. But truly i believe there should be nothing wrong with using it for that purpose of the paraffin wax.Hope the link helped with a batter decision. I would think you can.

You can use whatever wax you'd like, however if you're going to put the wax either straight into the warmer or put the plastic container into the warmer, I WOULD NOT recommend this. The plastic WILL melt. If you have some way to maybe put it into a tin and then into the warmer, you'll be alright.

I've only used it for deep frying so far but I don't see why not. It's your average bottom-heated non-stick pot.

I wouldn't do it. The brochure that came with the unit says:Caution: To avoid breakage and injury:-Do not use carafe to boil liquids or for cooking purposes-Never place the carafe on a gas or electric range, or in a conventional or microwave ovenAgain, it may not break, but I would think twice before using the pot contrary to the Cautions.

I would not recommend that you pour wax directly into this warmer. I would suggest you purchase a can of wax that normally is used with this warmer and when that can is empty you could refill the can. Hope that helps.

Yes, it should work fine for that purpose. I used it to heat up oils to make lip balm for a library program.

You can probably heat the wax in the microwave in smaller batches and use only what you need. I wouldn't recommend leaving it on constantly since the heating element will wear out sooner. You also can start with a smaller amount of wax. I wish I had and may try your microwave idea the next time I use it. I will say that I love it and can't believe I waited so long to get it.

It's a pretty pot so you would have to use a lot of oil but I guess you could?

I've never tried it but I would assume so. Pot is cast iron with a porcelain coating on the inside. I use it more for decoration

You could with a pot holder or glove, however it was not designed for this use and would get hot and may permanently heat discolor.

hi Katy - No! Never put wax directly on the heat! It is too volatile, and can catch fire that way. Recommended - either get a double boiler, or use an available adapter to make an existing pot the bottom part. Also recommended - candle-making thermometer to make sure your temps are okay, and a beginning candle-making book.

I'm not sure. But if the wax is the same size as the container shown in the picture then yes you should be able to use it.

I don't know. I use it to thin my chocolate. paraffin wax may make it shine.

Yes. But I don't use it. I use the cover for the wax itself and leave it in the warmer.

No, the wax container is made of metal, might explode. In case you decide to proceed with using microwave for heating of this wax anyway, please record video of the process and post it on the product page ;)

I don't see why not, as it is heat stable at high temps. And it doesn't have a strong flavor. However I personally use it for frying and sautéing and prefer baking with butter, coconut oil, or Palm oil.

Aluminum is not magnetic. So it is not compatible with induction cooking. And convection doesnt hold any even enough temp to make waxes...
