Kymber Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 OMG!! Can I tell you how much I love this new gadget of mine!! I bought this several months ago and it has been sitting in the box. Well we have been moving things around and I now have a seperate candle room (just a for the candle stuff...soap and b&b have it's own area too) And I set this up yesterday and boy does it simplify everything. I poured tester after tester last night and didn't have to stand around and wait for more wax to melt in my presto pots. I can't wait to go down and play with it some more today! It helps so much in streamlining the candle pouring process. I hope they get them in again this year so I can pick up a couple more! Waiting to hear if they work good for soap oils also!

ShelleyBean Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I LOVE LOVE LOVE my turkey fryer!! I still use my presto pot as well, but I was in heaven when I got my fryer. I use my presto for soy since I dont do as much with soy as I do with 4630 that I keep in the fryer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do my own blending of waxes and it is a breeze masterbatching it in this huge turkey fryer and saves so much time. I want another one!

I also had a coupon. i think w/o the coupon it was 70.00might be worth a look at your local storeI could not live without my turkey fryer!Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 why oh why oh why don't we have anything like this in the UK!!I've recently 'come into' a deep fat fryer which is like that, but theres no spout on the front. Although I'm going to use mine for orbs When you use these and presto pots, do you add your colour and fragrance to the turkey fryer? or do you pour the melted wax into something else, say a jug, and mix it from there?

SpaceGirl Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ooooh ooh ooh I have one, too! My DH saw it on sale and asked me if I wanted him to buy it for me! Of course I said yes! I pour the melted wax into a pour pot and add my FO and color there -- the wax is plenty hot enough, but if I want to keep the temp up a little or reheat, I just stick it in a pot of water (double-boiler style).

After shipping and tax $92 and change..... Just enter the coupon code during checkout before putting in your credit card..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have a presto pot I just bought. And all I can say is how did I do without all this time. Now I want to get a turkey frier. So I told hubby about it and maybe I will get it for christmas. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wczirr Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 And I thought my presto pot was the neatest thing around for wax melting. I guess the bigger I get the investment may need to be made that sure is a REAL NICE gadget....hmmmm christmas is comingwendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I just got one and used it this week for the first time. Man - It is wonderful. I love my presto pots and will continue to keep them full also for smaller jobs but for really pouring and not having to keep refilling presto - I love it:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 so is the turkey fryer like the presto pot just on a larger scale of one? I love the look of that one in that look and the controls look so easy to get to rather then behind on the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Yes - to me it is like just a much larger presto. Where the presto will hold 8lb of wax, turkey cooker (turk & surf) will hold about 35 lbs. That's a big difference when pouring large orders.

Gdawg Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 "wowza" that is a huge difference..better put that on my x-mas wish list cause yeah when you pour lots of candles it seems the presto is out of wax before you know it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I found a huge presto pot I think it holds 35 lbs. and my eyes popped out of my head until I looked closer and noticed the heating element is removeable and sits inside the presto pot. I want it, but I don't know if that is safe... I wonder if DH could attach it underneath the presto pot...Hmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 With the turkey fryer the unit is detachable and the open coils sit inside the pot. It is no problem. Just first time you use it you pour your melted wax in the pot to cover the coils good and then turn it on and thereafter just always keep coil covered with wax. The temp holds very good on 200.You don't want the coils underneath. Don't think it would get hot enough. It is safe. With the turkey fryer it has the spout on it.

I started using the 4627 which is a PITA to handle but with this I add the entire 25# at one time...just slit the bag down the sides, peel it off, dump it in upside down and peel the rest of the bag off the bottom...easy peasy! I am buying another one to have full of my soy wax. With my presto pots I was forever standing around waiting for more wax to melt...this really cuts down the pouring time!
