clean wax with slow cooker 2023

I switched to a round slow cooker (crock pot) to clean the crushed honeycomb and this led me to simplify my crushed comb cleaning steps using a colander.

• crushed honeycomb - link for bee yard and kitchen activities
  
• after several days of straining, I rinsed the crushed comb in warm water
• selected a colander of the same diameter as the round slow cooker lid
• line colander with cotton fabric and I mounded with rinsed crushed comb 
• added lid and joined cotton fabric edges with 2 bull clips
• removed the colander and added 1 cup of water and lid to the slow cooker
• be safe and melt the wax outdoors
• set slow cooker on high for 1 3/4 hours
• turned off the slow cooker and let it cool undisturbed to room temperature with the lid on

Crush, strain, honey's flow,
Slow cooker's gentle embrace,
Clean comb's sweet glow.
