A device and method for supporting a meltable tart and removing hot molten wax or other material from the tart when heated. The device has a heat resistant body formed of a material that is of sufficient porosity to absorb or soak up hot molten wax or other material from the tart and to retain its structural integrity so that it can be disposed of after it has absorbed or soaked up the hot molten wax or other material from the used tart.
