1000ML/1QT Double Boiler Chocolate Melting Pot, 304 Stainless Steel Candle Making Kit with Silicone Spatula for Chocolate, Candy, Candle, Soap, Wax

This is a review for the 1L size melting pot with bonus mini spatula.I bought this for melting butter, chocolate and wax. I like the pouring spouts for right or left handed use; the long straight metal handle for keeping my hands away from the heat source; and the small hook opposite the handle for straddling over a bowl or saucepan.It is brand new, shiny, no material flaws on INSIDE where the food or wax will be in contact with the vessel…and it comes with a bonus mini spatula. It has a stamp at the outside bottom surface of “stainless steel, 18-8.” It feels sturdy. It even comes with instructions.This will also be great for beating eggs, for pouring waffle batter and for smoothing out sauces before serving.This arrived blister packed and brand new, with No material flaws on INSIDE surface. For this type of item, the inside surface and edges are important, not just because the melting material is in direct contact, but also because flaws will cause melted material to catch and not pour smoothly.I recommend this product and this merchant.

Great addition to my kitchen

It seems a bit light weight. I'm used to heavier pans and this just seems flimsy. I haven't used it yet, so perhaps I will amend this after I've used it a time or two.

I used this as a double boiler to melt beeswax, oils and plant butters to make my own body care lotions, lotion bars, etc. The double pouring spouts and included spatula were an added bonus. The only concerning issue I had was cleaning the unit out. I made sure the remaining wax was still in liquid form, then wiped excess out of the inside of the metal bowl with some paper towels. What I found troubling was some black soot left on the paper towels as I wiped out the residual wax. At no time while melting the beeswax and oils did I over-heat or see smoke, so I know I didn't burn anything. I'm wondering if anyone else noticed any black soot left on paper towels while wiping/cleaning out the metal bowl. Other than this issue, this utensil worked very well for me.

This melting pot is nice. It will not melt candy and keep it at one temperature. Not good for that, bit chocolate worked better.

Works great, although I don't think I received the spatula that was supposed to come with it. I don't recall seeing it in the packaging, and I've used this pot a few times. It's a decent size and holds a lot, maybe more than you would expect. I'm very satisfied with it. Wish I had gotten the spatula, but still worth it. I'd buy again and recommend.

It’s bigger than I thought it would be. It is a perfect size I can do small batches as well as bigger batches of my cacao chocolates. The spatula I thought was cute when I saw it on Amazon. Its the perfect size for this bowl and light weight. The spatula size is a nice compliment making the process easier. It’s easy to clean, seems sturdy so far after one use. The pour spouts made pouring into the chocolate molds easier as well as the thickness of the handle for a good grip. I didn’t spill a drop outside of where I wanted the chocolate.

Very useful

I’d previously been melting candle wax in bowls but this makes it so much easier to handle and to pour the wax into the containers. It can hold about 400g solid wax flakes comfortably. It fits well over a normal large pan. The little spatula is very helpful too. I use it every time. It is a bit flexible and very strong so good for stirring and scraping. I’m considering buying another so I can make more candles at once.

Great for making my candles and wax melts, so much bigger than the last one I got so I can now melt more wax. Worth the money

I used it to make lemon curd, it was big enough to make the recipe which surprised me, easy to use and clean. I would recommend it!

Great for candle making.

Super sturdy, cleans easily and didn't get hot to hold
