ellajoan Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I am thinking of switching to Pyrex for my pouring pots but have a few questions... Can you or do you heat these on a griddle before adding wax from a melter or Presto Pot? If yes, why is it necessary? Does it take longer with this pouring pot to cool to a pouring temp? Has anyone marked/painted lines on the outside to determine different amounts (2 lb, 4 lb batch, etc) so you don't have to weigh from the presto pot? Do you find it too heavy to use when pouring many candles? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I use them for smaller batches like when I am testing. I do warm them up in my counter top oven. I am not sure if it is necessary but it is just they way I have always done it and it is hard to break habits I guess. Sorry, I can't hep you with that one. I think it is just a matter of preference. Some people say it is necessary and some don't. I weigh all my wax so I don't mark any lines on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I use 4 cup and 8 cup pyrex measuring cups. I don't make huge batches of each scent, at the most 2# per scent so they fit nicely. You always have to weigh, do not count on the measurement being correct for weight. They cool slowly which to me is better for the wax I use. I like glass because I can heat the empty measuring cup, put on scale, tare and then measure fo. The warm glass heats the cold fo up just enough before adding my wax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieMN Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I would not heat Pyrex on a griddle. If it gets hot enough, it will explode. Goldie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Nope, I throw it in the microwave for 30 secs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
