Bees wax filtering

Here you are, my friend:

The only things that I do a little differently is line the filter bag with kitchen paper towels, and the for draining and cooling stage, I just pull the bag tightly over the lid and clip it so that it cools out of the water and wax. That way I don’t get wax on a metal rack. The filter bags are cheap enough that you can throw them away after a couple of uses. They are actually cheaper than cheesecloth, but I have used that too and it works well with the kitchen paper towels. I also put a slow cooker liner bag into the crock pot to save on cleanup, like the photos in this version of the method:

Here are the liners I use to protect the slow cooker. They can be reused:

Here are the paint strainers that fit my large oval slow cooker:

They can also be re-used, but eventually they get brittle from the heat and tear, releasing a big mess. I only re-use them once to prevent this sad event. :blush:
