Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Trudeau Electric 3 in 1 Fondue 11 Piece Set
Customer Review: fondue
Summary: 4 Stars
We love this little fondue pot, we used it for cheese without the burning (double boiler feature is great), and used it for oil. It works great for both. Just need and extension cord to get it where you want it. Customer Review: Exclenet, Easy and Clean
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my girlfriend's birthday along with some fondu cookbooks. The Melting Pot is a favorite restaurant of ours and this set helped us get a similar experience from the comfort of our own home.
The double boiler for the cheese and chocolate is perfect. The cheese stayed nice and evenly melted through the entire time we were eating it. The chocolate melted quite well, but our recipe wasn't that good, so it got very tacky. I don't believe that was the fault of the pot.
For the main dinner course, we discarded the small fork holding ring. It was too crowded with the ring and many of our meats were impossible to get out. You also can't really get in there with a rescue spoon when the ring is on. Without the ring, the forks are more tipsy and might fall out if they get tangled. This is the only reason the review looses a star.
As mentioned by everyone, the cord is VERY short. You will need an extension cord unless you have an outlet on the table. The magnetic disconnect worked very well and we had no issues with it.
This is a fantastic product. The only thing I would wish for would be a slightly larger version that could comfortably serve more people.
Customer Review: Amazon ships a very disappointing product
Summary: 1 Stars
If the product received from Amazon didn't arrive used, dirty, repackaged, and with missing components, I might have something good to say about it. In addition to receiving an obviously returned product, i was kept waiting for it for 45 days. Buyer beware, it will take a week for this wreck to get back to Amazon, if you suddenly receive confirmation of backorder shipment you'll know what to expect...Customer Review: Fun for the whole family
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife and I enjoy "the Melting Pot" restaurant so I thought it would be fun to get this for home. We fired it up on New Year's Eve and had a three course blast of cheese, broth for cooking beef and chicken, and turtle chocolate dessert. Cooked well (even boiled the broth), but the temperature control didn't seeme real precise. The pot is a little small to support four people trying to cook at the same time, but we managed just fine. Was worth it for us. (BTW, found some great Melting Pot recipes by Googling online but have ordered the Melting Pot Cookbook.)Customer Review: Really great fondue pot
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research before settling on this pot and I am very happy with my choice. We (family) have used it several times and like it so much we are considering purchasing another so we can do even more kinds of fondue in one meal. I have another fondue pot but it uses open flame and I find that being able to adjust the heat with this one is invaluable, not to mention it reduces my worry level when my kids are hovering around it.
I think it's the best one out there for versatility, utility and stylishness.
ETA: After several uses of this wonderful pot, we did order another one. We are looking forward to many home based Melting Pot parties.
