Note to self

Do not use food-quality saucepan to melt crayons for encaustic wax painting. (... what? We're reading about encaustic painting in the chapter on Roman art, and I thought, hmm, that looks interesting, and hmm, crayons are made out of wax ...)

They do melt down nicely. But damn, they're hard to get off stainless steel. *scrubs*

You may have better luck warming the pan slightly and wiping the residue out with paper towels.

I got it eventually -- thanks for the tip! :)
