Valentine Dreams
Comentado en los Estados Unidos el 9 de marzo de 2025
I've used it twice now for fondue, once was at New Year, the other was at Valentine. It's a very easy to use, easy to clean device. It has three parts (not counting the forks): a metal bowl for the fondue, the heating tray which has three settings (off, warm, and melt), and a plastic tray ring for the things you have to dip. The metal bowl has started warping on the bottom after only two uses, it's still usable, but it sits and heats unevenly on the heating platform. I'm thinking a ceramic bowl would work better, though might take longer to warm up. There's nothing wrong with the heating tray, it works just as it's supposed to, maybe too well considering the melting bowl becoming warped. Personally the tray is an unnecessary extra that adds nothing to the design. I'd have preferred a place to keep the forks than a place to keep things to dip. The forks fit in the tray, but it's a little awkward as the trays are semicircular in shape and the forks are straight. The tray also extends out over the top of the temperature control for the warming tray, which impedes access when you need to reduce the heat or turn off the plate. An additional flaw in this design is the lightweight quality. Nothing has any weight to it. It slides around easily even when full of hot melted chocolate or cheese, and the tray, even when loaded with dipping items like fruit or veggies easily flips up, especially when trying to get to the heating controls. The try, is really in the way... At New Year, we never even put the fruit out of the fruit tray we bought into the fondue pot's tray, we just kept our chocolaty forks there to have a place where they wouldn't get chocolate everywhere, at Valentine's I put chips in the tray to dip in the cheese, but it doesn't hold very much. Ultimately, it's a fun group item, and I'll probably use it until the bowl gets too warped to even heat unevenly, but I'm gonna replace it with a more heavy duty pot eventually. It serves its purpose, but if you can afford a more advanced pot, get one.

Was looking for an inexpensive smaller size fondue pot, and this came highly rated. It was on a limited deal, and I purchased it. IN hindsight, I should have gone for the stainless steel, but the black is not without appeal. The item does work as advertized, although it does take a rather substantial time to reach consistency on the melt setting. Once melted and the desired texture is achieved, the warm setting does maintain temperataure. This also works with plant-based cheese.

I used this for entertaining on several occasions. It’s great! Cheese or chocolate; both work great!

It works, just okay. If you put it on warm, it has one spot it scorches, so you have to be careful or it will burn fast.
