Review (5/5): Works Great for Melt & Pour Soap
[[VIDEOID:56deb6d1ec3c26666a3e34a0dc40fd1]] I use this electric warmer to heat melt-and-pour handmade soap. It takes approximately 7 minutes to melt enough soap for one bar (the video is a time lapse). I normally use a microwave for this task but that often results in the boil overs that make a huge mess. This may take a little longer but it's not that significant.
I like the way the control works. You turn is clockwise to raise the temp, which is indicated on the middle of the dial. When you turn it it reads like a thermostat the temp you are setting it to. After a few seconds it then reverts to reading the current temperature. When it reaches the set temperature, the whole lower half of the heater lights up green.
I was worried that the round shape may make this unit unstable but that was not a problem.
I like that there is a removable inner container that has a plastic handle. This seems to be made from some sort of a lightweight aluminum alloy. This certainly makes clean up much easier.
I would recommend this product.
