Never heat them on a electric hotplate until the paraffin starts to boil  
and then attempt to lift the tea light off with a pair of pliers. If you  
spill some of the overheated paraffin the whole lot will ignite with a  
HUGE flame. Don't ask how i know this!

You can melt them easily, just don't overdo it with the temperature and  
let it boil.....
