[Weems, Joyce]

And if you let the water cool, the paraffin will harden and you discard
it without pouring down the drain...

I like my metal molds. They are neat, you get even heat transfer, and
are easy to clean when they need it. I clean them by tossing them in
some boiling water with an excess of cleaning powder (Alconox or
Sparkleen) or any detergent you have on hand (make sure it doesn't get
too bubbly and froth over though). Then I rinse them under hot top
water, spread on paper towels to dry, spray with mold release, and stack
in the oven.
