I use it in my Mexican and Chinese food. It has a smoky slightly spicy flavor without being very hot.
I will send this bag of cumin to the person who can tell me how to clean my votive candle holders so they are clean and shiny again (and ready for a new votive). I'm going to try out your ideas and the first idea that gets my candle holders pretty again wins. So, leave me a comment with your ideas.
Thanks!

Ahahaha! As a former professional candlemaker, here is my advice:
1. Put it in the freezer for a while. The chunks of wax and the wick holder disc should pop out nicely after that.
2. Let it come back to room temperature. Then put it in the oven or toaster oven set on the lowest setting. Let it heat until the wax melts.
3. BE CAREFUL! Pour out the wax. Wipe down with paper towels while it is still hottish.
4. Squirt a little GooGone in it and wipe it down. Then wash with soap and water.
5. Should be sparkling at this point.
lille,
I haven't forgotten you. I just haven't made the trip out to get GooGone. I'll do it soon though.
I thought I posted before, but it isn't showing. I've gotten lots of glass holders shiny clean without the GooGone. It gets the final wax film off, but most of the time you can get it all with just the paper towels while it is hot, then washing it. I don't know what you could substitute for the GooGone, but you might not need it at all.
Ok Lille--
Candles are in the freezer. I plan on completing the pan by tonight.
Lille, The freezer trick worked. Send me an email with your addy and I'll get you a package in the mail.
Thanks!
