Finally a fondue pot that works September 19, 2007

We have had a couple of others before purchasing the Le Creuset. They are OK for oil cooking but not for cheese or deserts. This one is great. The cheese did not burn or the chocolate. Easy clean up as well. Spend the money the first time on this product.
 Good product. April 12, 2006

This is an attractive well made product as all Le Creuset products seem to be. It is heavy and the pot fits snuggly in its base which is a plus to prevent tipping. I can see using this fondue pot for many years to come.
I like that I can start the fondue on the stove and transfer it to the base to keep warm. I would like it better if the flame would adjust a bit lower but it may be that I haven't quite figured it out yet. I also like that this product doesn't have a plug which gives me more options as to where it can be used, inside or out

To some the price might seem a little high, but if you are looking for a top quality fondue pot this is the one to buy. The pot itself is heavy and holds and distributes heat very well. I've used many other fondue pots with less than perfect results.
We make a lot of cheese and chocolate fondue and I have never burned either with this pot, even when the fondue has had a flame on it for a couple of hours.
The base is very sturdy and I have no fear of the pot falling off it even when the kids are goofing around trying to get last of the chocolate.
The burner always lights for me (some others I've used have not worked as well). It burns liquid fuel and jel fuel so there is never a problem trying to decide what to buy. Use the liquid when you need a hotter flame (for broths and deep frying), use the jel for a slightly cooler flame (for cheese and chocolate). But, either fuel will work for whatever you are heating.
I like this fondue pot so much I've order a second one. If you really like fondue and want something that will last, this fondue set is worth every penny.
Best fondue pot I've used December 13, 2004
I used 6 different styles of fondue pot. This one is definately the best. Because it's made of cast iron, scorching is minimized. Chocolates and cheeses melt wonderfuly. Controlling the heat works better than others I've used.
When I get around to buying a second fondue pot, it will be this one.
Makes a lovely gift! December 22, 2002

I have an old school model and LOVE it! My 5 yr old requests fondue often. Fondue is great for entertaining. This one I purchased as a gift. Le Creuset is beautiful, well-made cookware. Top-drawer, highest rating! Cheers!
