Amazon.com Review

Fondue is one of those dinners that actively engages all ages and usually ends in laughter, as dueling forks often ensue and hunks of bread fall off into the melted cheese. The fondue set from Le Creuset is one of the most sturdy and attractive ones you'll find. Made of enameled cast iron, the black stand and colorful pot are extremely durable and resist chipping, cracking, staining, and odor absorption. Start by placing the pot on any gas, electric, induction, or ceramic stovetop burner to melt the cheese or chocolate (hot broth makes a good dip for slices of meat or fish). Then place the pot on the stand, where it will retain its heat admirably, especially when the burner underneath is lit. The set includes six stainless steel forks, each featuring a different colored end for instant recognition.

Le Creuset is known for suffusing the exterior of its products with bright, modern colors, while keeping a more neutral tone on the interior. The enamel is so smooth that food particles tend not to stick, making cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher a snap. The fondue pot is also safe for oven and broiler use. Enjoy choosing coordinating colors for your Le Creuset baking pans, pie dishes, French ovens, and more. Le Creuset is so confident of its workmanship that it warrantees this product for your lifetime, whether you bought it for yourself or received it as a gift. --Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid fondue with class, December 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 1-3/4-Quart Traditional Fondue Pot, Cherry (Kitchen)
The Le Creuset pot is great. It can cook cheese, broth and oil fondues equally well. Cheese fondues won't burn since the iron heats more evenly than thin stainless sets. It won't break if dropped like the ceramic bowls. You can start on the stove, unlike the ceramic pots, so you only have one to clean. The set is very heavy which keeps it from accidentally tippping (a good thing with a pot of boiling oil). The enamel interior cleans easily even with burned -on food. Looks smarter than the cheap sets too. If you're going to make fondue more than once, get a good product.

This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 1-3/4-Quart Traditional Fondue Pot, Flame (Kitchen)
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...Read more

This review is from: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 1-3/4-Quart Traditional Fondue Pot, Cherry (Kitchen)
The Le Creuset pot is great. I hardly can't believe that the person who wrote under the alias LeRippoff actually owns one of these sets.
The only thing that dissapointed me is the fact that the burner where the pan is on gets hot which makes it impossible to place the fondueset directly on the table or to pick it up without any precautions. For the rest just compliments for this set: heats evenly, easy to clean, functional on all heat-sources, heavy, looks just right.
Unfortunately these assets do not come for free. Think its quite pricy but worth its money.
