Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of CFO%2D3SS%2D Electric Fondue Maker
Customer Review: I love this fondue pot so much, I'm here to purchase a second one!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recieved this for a Mothers Day gift and we used it side by side with my Mom's old Sterno pot. Well, I can hands down say that I will never own a sterno pot, electric is definitely the way to go and this is an excellent model. We had two groups of three, one using this pot and the other using the sterno pot. The sterno group was afraid they were going to starve ;)
This is really my first foray into fonduing and I am sure there are many really good cookbooks out there. But I treated myself to the Melting Pot's cookbook Dip Into Something Different: A Collection of Recipes from Our Fondue Pot to Yours and it has several alternatives to the oil fondue that are delightful and make this an appliance we use at least once a week.
Pros:
1. Heats quickly and evenly. Thicker fondues (such as chocolate and cheese) need to be stirred as they heat. The directions indicate which settings to use for chocolate, other dessert fondues, cheese, oil, water and broth fondues.
2. Large capacity. We have used this for 2 - 8 people cooking meat and veggies at the same time and it works great. We played around with the temperature gauge to control the oil temp when we had a lot of meat at one time. It was very responsive. We have also used this for dessert fondues at large holiday gatherings and it has performed very well.
Cons:
1. Pot and handles get very hot! We fondue with children and have one adult assigned to each child to help them and make sure they don't touch the pot or cord.
2. The cord is too short! I do use a grounded (3 prong) extension cord and apply fish tank logic. I suspend/hang the cord to make a drip loop. When you put lights and filters in a fish tank, you want to make sure if the water drips, it doesn't run down the cord to the connection or the wall receptacle. You want the section between the appliance and the connection to be the lowest point. Unfortunately, the cord on this pot is so short that it isn't very attractive when using for a party...but safety first.
