Overview
Sized for jewelry-scale work, this microwave kiln melts or softens glass for pendants and beads, with an internal fusing platform of about 2-1/4 inches inside a roughly 4-3/5 inch diameter shell. Suits a home jewelry maker working in small batches rather than a production studio.
Instead of a dedicated kiln with its own heating element, this tool works inside a household microwave, reaching around 900 C (1650 F) with roughly 5 minutes of heating to soften small glass pieces. That approach keeps cost and footprint down but ties the result to the microwave used and to following the operating precautions Love Charm lists. It is built for small fused-glass jewelry pieces, not for firing pottery or large glass panels.
- Internal fusing platform about 2-1/4 inches across
- Reaches roughly 900 C (1650 F) using a household microwave
- Softens small glass pieces in about 5 minutes of heating
- Compact outer size, about 4-3/5 inches in diameter
Who it's for
Fits a hobbyist making glass pendants, cabochons or small fused pieces who wants to try glass fusing without buying a full electric kiln. Not a fit for anyone wanting to fire ceramics or work pieces larger than a small jewelry component, since the internal platform is only about 2-1/4 inches.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Works in a standard household microwave
- Reaches glass-softening temperature in about 5 minutes
- Compact size stores easily between uses
- Low-cost entry point into glass fusing
- Internal fusing platform only about 2-1/4 inches
- Requires following microwave safety precautions closely
- No use for pottery or ceramic firing
Performance notes
The kiln uses microwave energy rather than its own heating element, reaching around 900 C (1650 F) after about 5 minutes to soften and shape small glass pieces. Because the heat source is the household microwave itself, results depend on that microwave's wattage and on following the manufacturer's operating precautions rather than a fixed temperature dial. The compact size stores easily but also caps how large a glass piece can be fused at once.
