Corey,
Most folks seem to have pots from 10 to 40 lbs which wouldn't accept an ingot that size. Aluminum muffin tins work great.

Don't bother with the Magma ingot molds either. I bought the smaller one several years ago. It makes a 10# rectangular ingot that won't fit anything I've got. Takes more than one dip with my #5 Rowell ladle to fill it. Works good, except the end product is worthless except to store. I hate to do things twice to get something that works.

Made by Lodge, Found mine at Walmart... Specified use is spoon rest or ashtray. Works great for ingots. I use mine to catch the drips and overflow from my bottom pour lead melter.
