candlebean Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 When I started making incense a few weeks ago, I was using a glass baking dish to soak them in. I wanted to make a bunch of different kinds at once so I went to the store to get more dishes, but saw some cookie sheets that were the perfect size. I bought a couple and have some sticks soaking as we speak, but I was wondering if anyone else uses cookie sheets to make incense? I'm not sure if the oils will mess up the sheets for future incense-making...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Can't answer that. I bought a bunch of plastic utensil holders that have held up and I use that, but it doesn't hold more than about 125 at a time or so. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'm making small batches now myself. I was just wondering if the cookie sheet would hold the odor in or not - I guess time will tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'd be curious to hear what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Me too ... trying to find a better way to do more incense myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'll keep you posted! The sheets are sooo much cheaper than the glass dishes! I can't wait for these buggers to be done soaking tomorrow so I can run the sheets through the dishwasher. OMG I'm excited to be doing dishes. I'm getting old.

hellen Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 When I make incense, I cut the top off of a bottle (HDPE) and use that. It has quite a large neck, I can easily pour off the remaining liquid into another smaller jar for using afterwards, can move the sticks around easily, and I can either keep it if it's a scent I use regularly, or toss it away. I end up with soooo many empty fragrance bottles so for me it's the easiest and most economical method.Cheers,Hells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 The cookie sheets were a success! They came out of the dishwasher like new and none of the scent was left behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda (OH) Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I am glad to see this thread I bought some sticks to test before Christmas and didnt' get to them. I was also wondering the best "soaking" tool to start with. I considered the glass dishes as well as the alumumium baking thingy's. A cookie sheet would pay off better in the long run. Thanks Candlebean !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
