I bought this fully aware that this is a small steamer. I didn't need a big one to melt the beeswax, cocoa butter, and shea butter together. I bought it for a lip balm. I used to use a do-it-yourself steamer. Last time I just used Pyrex and the microwave. The Pyrex microwave worked perfectly for me until one day the beeswax in my Pyrex caught fire. my expectations. Little did I know there would be a small "spout" on either side through which one could pour the contents directly into something small/precise. It fits perfectly on the top of the pot and works flawlessly. I took some photos for those interested in a small vape. The content featured in mine is a blend of fully melted beeswax, cocoa butter, shea butter, and olive oil. I don't have a scale to measure properly, so I just estimate the amount using the perfect ratio I've learned through practice. There are many balm formulas on the websites for accurate do-it-yourself measurements. I have another use for melting butter; especially shi. When shea butter slowly melts and hardens at random temperatures, such as during shipping, it can result in a grainy texture. To fix this, you can melt the shea's grainy texture. The reason for the gritty feeling is simply the melting and resolidification situation mentioned above - the three different fatty acid molecules in shea have different melting points. This results in the fatty acid molecules only sticking to one another and not throughout the oil as it solidifies at random temperatures. To fix this, I gently melt the shea in this steamer. Once fully melted, I pour the liquid shea into a container or bowl and immediately pop it in the freezer. The temperature of the freezer causes the oil to solidify quickly; Therefore, fatty acid molecules don't have time to slowly solidify (which would result in the molecules staying separate and creating graininess). Ideas on how to use this steamer.
