Stainless Steel Beeswax Melting Kettle – 20 Litre
A versatile 20 litre stainless steel electric melting kettle, ideal for melting beeswax using a water bath and making beautiful handmade beeswax candles.
Make the most of your beeswax with the ApiCera® Stainless Steel Beeswax Melting Kettle. Designed for beekeepers and candle makers, this practical electric kettle provides a convenient way to heat water for gently melting beeswax using a separate wax melting pot.
Made from stainless steel, the ApiCera® features a powerful 2,500W heating element built into the base, along with a temperature range of approximately 30°C to 100°C. This makes it a useful addition to your candle-making equipment, whether you're preparing beeswax for pouring into moulds or making traditional dipped candles.
With a generous 20 litre capacity, there's plenty of room for a suitable inner wax melting pot, allowing your beeswax to be heated indirectly using a water bath. This gentler heating method helps reduce the risk of overheating and makes it easier to manage the melting process.
The kettle also features a practical stainless steel outlet tap, making it convenient to drain water or dispense suitable liquids. As well as beeswax processing, it can be used for heating and dispensing hot drinks when used appropriately.
Whether you're a hobbyist beekeeper making candles from your own beeswax or regularly producing handmade candles, the ApiCera® Melting Kettle is a versatile addition to your workshop.

Please Note: A separate wax melting pot is required for melting beeswax using the water bath method and is not included with this kettle. The 20 litre capacity refers to the kettle, not the quantity of beeswax it can melt.
Safety Information: Always follow the manufacturer's operating instructions. Never operate the kettle without the required water level, leave it unattended during use or move it while hot. Use suitable heat-resistant gloves and take care around hot water, steam and melted beeswax. Do not place beeswax directly into the kettle when using it as a water bath.
