I've read Tillie (Linda T's) blog about how she melts her wax.
My question is, can I use metal/glass bowls, pots, instead of tupperware?
Pros and cons?

Just don't use thin plastic that warps when it gets hot. I use metal pans and plastic containers. I put a 1/2" of water in the bottom so that the wax is easier to remove.

Here is mine melting some brood frames:

I use a metal pan with water in it.

Try to get stainless steel pans. Avoid aluminum and some other metals as it can react with the wax and discolor it. I bought stainless steel restaurant type buffet pans (2 sizes) at Sam's Club.
