Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend 88503 3-Qt. Fondue Pot
Customer Review: Great first pot
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for a first or only fondue pot, this would be a very good choice. The advantage of an electric pot is the ability to control the temperature more precisely and easily, which is a big advantage. The design of this set, with the wider open mouth, does classic cheese or chocolate fondue as well as can be expected, and 8 people can easily use this set (fondue with a group requires teamwork, part of the fun). Usually the pots designed specifically for hot oil fondue have a fluted or more narrow opening, to reduce splattering. This set will work for hot oil also, but for only 3 or 4 people (with hot oil each person is leaving two forks in at a time, as opposed to dip & pull with cheese or chocolate), and with a little more clean up maybe.The pot is easy to clean, and you can put it on the stove to get the contents started and up to temperature, then using the warmer to keep them at temp, a easier way to go. The big disadvantage on electric pots, somehow the cord must go from the center of the table down to the electirc outlet, which never really seems to be an issue. You can have a lot of fun with this reliable and good all around pot.
Fondue pots that work off candle or sterno heat can be more romantic, but much harder to control. This is really a good pot to have or to start with. My wife lived in Switzerland for 3 years, home of fondue. We have several pots, we use this one the most often. Order some extra forks while you are at it. Fondue is great fun.
Description of West Bend 88503 3-Qt. Fondue Pot
The West Bend 3-Qt. Fondue Post is ideal for enjoying appetizers, simmering a broth to pair with dinner, or for the popular fondue dessert.Fondue makes a fun, family-style meal for a group and is quick and easy for the hosts to put together. This 3-quart fondue pot serves up a family-sized bowl of traditional savory cheese fondue for bread or apple slices, dipping sauce for Mongolian hot pot, or berry sauce for dunking dessert cookies and cheeses. The variable heat settings, from warm up to 400 degrees F, make it possible to cook a wide variety of foods.
For quick and easy cleanup, the fondue pot has a nonstick interior and is dishwasher-safe and fully immersible after the removal of the temperature control. The pot sits on two heat-resistant legs that allow you to move and serve hot dinners safely. For additional safety, the power cord disconnects quickly and meets UL standards. Eight color-coded fondue forks are included to accommodate larger fondue gatherings and a slotted removable ring-rest along the rim of the pot holds forks in place while the fondue simmers. This fondue pot is covered by West Bend under a 1-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
