Electric stainless steel cooking and wax melting kettle – 29 litres, 2000 watts

Electric stainless steel boiling and wax melting kettle – 29 litres, 2000 watts

The versatile boiling and wax melting kettle with a 29-litre capacity is a practical solution for apiaries, candle makers and self-sufficient households. With its powerful 2000-watt base heating element, it is suitable for warming, melting and clarifying beeswax, processing cappings wax, and preparing honey water and mash for mead production.

The infinitely adjustable control thermostat allows temperatures from around 30 °C up to boiling point. The stainless steel drain tap makes controlled draining and filling easier. Thanks to its raised position of approx. 2.5 cm above the bottom of the vessel, heavy impurities and sediment largely remain in the lower section of the kettle.

Ideal for melting and clarifying beeswax

The electric wax melting pot is especially suitable for small to medium quantities of wax. Beeswax can be heated together with water in a controlled manner. After cooling, the wax separates from the water and from heavier impurities.

• For cappings wax, uncapping wax and cleaned old wax
• For preparing wax for candles and wax blocks
• Adjustable temperature for different processing steps
• Closed stainless steel base with integrated bottom heating
• Controlled draining via the 3/4-inch stainless steel tap

Our tip for processing cappings wax

Cappings wax often still contains a considerable amount of honey. This kettle makes it particularly practical to separate wax and honey water:

1. Place clean cappings wax into the stainless steel vessel.
2. Add sufficient water and heat the mixture in a controlled manner.
3. After heating, allow it to cool completely.
4. The solidified wax collects on the surface, while honey water and sediment remain underneath.
5. The honey water can then be drained off in a controlled manner via the raised outlet tap.

With clean, hygienic processing, the recovered honey water can be used after complete cooling as a base for a honey wine or mead batch. Sugar content, cleanliness and the quality of the raw material should be checked carefully.

Perfect for preparing honey wine and mead

The boiling kettle is also ideal for mixing and warming honey water for the production of mead, honey wine and fruit mead. Water and honey can be blended evenly at a controlled temperature. Apple juice, herbs or spice extracts can also be prepared for individual recipes.

For the subsequent fermentation, we recommend combining it with our 35-litre fermentation vessel with airlock and sieve insert, SKU 1446. This creates a practical system with the boiling kettle and fermentation vessel, from dissolving the honey through to controlled fermentation.

Also suitable for preserving, hot drinks and cleaning

In addition to wax and mead processing, the kettle can be used for preserving, heating water and beverages, and for boiling suitable heat-resistant utensils. The supplied insert rack keeps jars and containers away from the directly heated base.

It is also possible to heat and dispense punch, tea, water or other hot beverages. Use as a mash kettle for brewing beer is an additional application, but it is not the main focus of this offer.

Adjustable temperature up to boiling point

The desired temperature can be set continuously from approx. 30 °C up to boiling via the mechanical thermostat. An indicator light shows when the unit is heating. The integrated overheating and boil-dry protection provides additional operational safety.

Practical 3/4-inch stainless steel drain tap

The food-safe all-stainless-steel drain tap allows clean and controlled dispensing of water, honey water or other suitable liquids. Thanks to the large 3/4-inch opening, even slightly more viscous media can be filled conveniently.

Cable neatly stored in the base

After use, the 135 cm power cable can be conveniently stored in the integrated cable winder in the base. This keeps the kettle compact and tidy during transport and storage.

Important safety information

Beeswax is flammable and must never be heated dry, unattended or excessively. When melting wax, always use sufficient water and observe the operating instructions as well as the permissible fill quantities. The overheating and boil-dry protection does not replace personal supervision.

The device is suitable for heating and boiling suitable utensils, but does not replace a validated medical or commercial steriliser.
