Abstract
Disclosed is a candle making apparatus including an electric appliance for a process of sequentially melting, mixing and holding the constituents of a container candle inside a jug and at a molten temperature until a user is ready to pour the melt into a container. Typically the constituents of such candles include vegetable wax, soy products, vegetable oils, fats or fatty acids. They are melted at a higher temperature, then mixed, and cooled so that volatile ingredients can be added at a lower temperature while the mixture remains melted, and is further stirred. The process is controlled by a microprocessor. A visual interface displays progress and accepts user input.
