to something worthy of lingering over. But all candles are not created equal. Here are a few tips on what to look for a kitchen or dining room candle and a few of my favorites available online.Wax Matters
Candles will burn at different rates and have different smells depending on the wax they're made of. Beeswax is my favorite. It's hypo-allergenic, produces less soot and smoke than any other wax, and is biodegradable. It has a subtle, naturally sweet scent, but not one that will overpower any cooking aromas. In terms of safety, beeswax also the best bet,
of many candles made with lesser waxes. Beeswax is more expensive, but it burns two to five times slower than paraffin.Wicks Do Too I've also begun to look out for 100% cotton, lead-free wicks. Originally, candle manufacturers put metal into wicks to help them stand upright, and while the US candle industry has stopped this practice,Let go of your organized side that wants perfectly symmetrical, monochromatic candles. I've found that a jumble of shapes and sizes, in a range of soft colors like white, cream, grey, and blush, look much more natural than a series of matching pillars.
