Review on 15 Piece Set of Extra Large Microwave πŸ”₯ Kiln Kit – Ideal Tools for DIY Jewelry Making by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Different firing times for different kiln sizes

I was very excited about this product after taking a glass melting course and thought it might be possible to do small projects at home. Everything was there except for the instructions. I went online and found several videos and PDFs with similar tips. They all emphasized that the oven should not be heated in the microwave for more than 6 minutes. I followed these instructions carefully and I didn't have a single item, not even the START of melting. Desperate, I scoured the internet and found a blog post stating that a very large oven (like this one) takes 15-17 minutes to fuse things properly! Well, it would be nice to get that information before you use up that scarce burn paper and get completely pissed off. I tried again and after 14 minutes 30 seconds I finally saw a glow through a small hole in the top and a melted piece. IF YOU BUY A STOVE THIS SIZE YOU WILL INCREASE THE BURNING TIME.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
