How to get wax off of non-stick pot?

Question

My boyfriend used my non-stick stock pot as a double boiler for his wax candle-making hobby (UGH!), and there is a thin wax coating on the inside of the pot. How do I get rid of wax? I hope my pot wasn't ruined....

Answer 1

Boil water in it, the wax will come off and you can pore it out, then while it is still hot, add some more water and put dish soap in and wipe it out

Answer 2

if you hold a flame close to the wax, it will begin to melt, gradually work your way around and remove the melted wax whilst you do so

Answer 3

melt the wax that is left in the pot ,wipe it off with a paper towel and rinse it our with very hot water, then wash the pot in hot water and soap. Buy your boyfriend a pot for melting wax ONLY and don't use it for anything else but wax melting.
