Overview
A 2-quart electric fondue pot with a stainless steel body, non-stick coated bowl, and a 5-level control knob, sized for around 8 people. Ships with 10 color-coded forks, cups, and a rack, and the base and pot separate for cleaning.
Befano markets this as a chocolate and cheese fondue set, but the 1000W element and a claimed 392F ceiling mean it can also handle hot pot broth or wax melting. Reviewers who used it for cheese and hot pot were happier than the one who tried oil fondue, where holding a steady, hot temperature matters more than a wide range.
- 9.3 x 8 x 6 inch footprint
- 1000W element, up to 392F tested with oil
- 430 stainless steel with non-stick coating
- Comes with rack and cups plus 10 forks
Who it's for
Fits a family or small group wanting an easy chocolate, cheese, or hot pot setup for gatherings, camping, or a holiday dessert night. Less suited to anyone planning to fry in oil, since reviewers found the heat harder to hold steady for that use.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers who used it for chocolate, cheese, or Sichuan hot pot were happy with how fast it heated and how long it held warmth, and liked the color-coded forks for keeping track of whose is whose. The complaints centered on temperature control: one buyer returned it because cheese would not stay melted without constant adjustment, and another said oil fondue cooked slower and came out greasy because the pot could not hold a high enough heat.
