I can only guess you have a couple pound or more tub of wax, and a pot that also holds heat very well.
Yeah my pot is about the size of a med/med-small soup pan. I will tell you this: I get the wax pretty darn hot--hot enough so it's churning over a bit on the stove. Hot enough so when you dip the chain in bubbles pop up and you can see the wax turning over inside the pot. If you heat the wax well past it's melting point but less than flash point--I assure you 10 seconds will be plenty long enough to get the job done perfectly.
