Candle warmer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A candle warmer is an electric warmer that melts a candle to release its scent. The candle warmer shown is intented to be used with jar candles or candles in cups, not with taper candles or candles without containers large enough to accommodate all the melted wax. Some candle warmers have a built-in bowl in which the candle is placed.
The advantages of using a candle warmer include the absence of open flame and the soot that often results from burning wax. Disadvantages include the cost of electricity and the presence of a puddle of hot wax which is a potential danger to children and pets.
