Used to work in a candle factory for 10 yrs. People, save yourself the risk. BUY the candle don't try to make it yourself. 1. You've no idea the flashpoint of the wax (both melting on stove & it melting in the glass) 2. You have to make certain the glass you're putting it in is able to handle the heat produced. 3. Objects like the cinnamon stick & even the fruit slices can burn because the wick is NOT stable within the wax. It's just too easy to buy inexpensive candles. Don't risk the fire. smh

I see 2 major problems: The fresh orange is going to start rotting in no time, you need to use dried orange slices. Most importantly, once the wick goes down to were it crosses the cinnamon stick, the cinnamon stick will catch fire and likely cause the glass to break resulting in leaking wax and a potential fire.

That cinnamon stick will catch on fire!

First, use a can from soup or veggies. Oil the can before adding wax and ingredients. Use a metal washer to hold wick to bottom. Fill with wax. After it set, cut bottom lid off and push candle out of can. You have a free standing pillar candle.

@@gregengel1616 You are missing something . A candle remains largely solid. The solid wax and small pool of liquid wax conducts the heat away from the wick and prevent runaway combustion. Only the vapourising wax in the wick can support combustion. A pan full of liquid wax is only slightly different from a pan full of Jet A1 fuel (Kerosene) - they are both paraffins . If a drop of that liquid wax splashes on the hot stove top ,you have a major problem!

Once the cinnamon catches the flame, your house will never smell the same ever. The glass bursts, the wax flowing out makes everything under it burn.

IT IS BETTER TO MELT WAX IN A CAN SITTING IN BOILING WATER...WAX MELTS AT ABOUT 132 F IF I RECALL, BUT BURNS AND IS BETTER MELTED WITH INDIRECT HEAT. ALSO BEST NOT TO USE EATING PANS TO MELT WAX IN.... SOME RESIDUE MAY REMAIN AFTER TRYING TO CLEAN IT OUT. THE WICK DESIGNED TO BURN A 1/2 INCH DIAMETER CANDLE MAY NOT BE Adequate for a 2 - 3 inch diameter candle. better to use bulk wax / parafin and wicks designed for the size you use. rather tahn melting already made candles, save them for burning.

A suggestion you might consider, rather than tying the wick to a cimmon stick suspend it over the glass with a popsicle stick away from the sticks , maybe even tie a knot in the wick down at the bottom of glass.

What kind of essential oils do you use? What scents are they?

Love this fantastic creative idea🕯

Интересное решение, хорошая идея! Благодарю.

Use a double boiler to melt the wax to keep it from flashing.

I would add: Do not use "any kind of glass, make sure it will resist the temperature". Also, "do not use cinnamon sticks for safety purpose, just add it in powder when pouring the melted wax". Happy New Year to all!

Cheaper to use dollar tree candles. They come in the glass pillars. One of those melted in a pot filled with water would suffice. The other stuff is pretty cheap here in NYC. I can usually get a good lemon for a buck or better yet a low quality one for a quarter in some of the bodegas near me. Limes are even cheaper. Cinnamon sticks can be bought by weight or in bulk-type bags at many shops. I could make something like this for less than seven bucks. Much less.

What a double boiler does is limits the temp to the boiling point of water so the parafin doesn't reach its flash point ( it also limits the amount of vapour produced). So, I would say a double boiler is a pretty smart safety precaution. You don't need to buy a customized double boiler; a smaller pot fit inside a larger pot of water will produce the same effect.

I was eager to make this wax dish. I am from Colorado, no one eats wax here. I was pleasantly surprised, although the dish was a bit bland. You have to swallow somewhat quickly, or your mouth stays coated for 96 hours. I came back into the room after pausing the video with the wax melting, and noticed that the chef put fruit in it and served it up in glass cups. Quite thoughtful. Anyway, add some salt, pepper, and a bit of onion powder to the wax just as it's finished melting. This creates a good flavor, but again, eat it quickly. BTW, cleaning the pan is simple, just soak it in drano and antifreeze overnight. No more wax in the pan.
