oster fondue pot | titanium infused duraceramic fondue maker, black

I bought this fondue pot initially for us to do fondue at home. I remember my mom and dad doing fondue in the 1960's so wanted to bring back the glory days of my youth. It is an incredible fondue pot! I did not want to deal with the inconsistencies of the "sterno" flame pot setup. The electric heating on this is spot on. I have done two cheese fondue nights and an oil (deep fry) fondue night so far. They all went great.I was able to create the cheese fondue sauce right in the pot. I put in the beer the first night, wine the second night, let it boil, had my grated cheese with some corn starch mixed in. Added the cheese slowly until I had the right consistency. I kept it on the lowest heat and the cheese was perfect through the dinner. When I let it cool I was worried at first that it would be a nightmare to clean. But the last of the cheese residue just came right out so easy. It is so easy to clean up I am going to start using this pot to make cheese sauces for other dishes like Mac-N-Cheese. I have never been able to clean up cheese sauce so easy before.The most recent fondue night was the oil night. I cut up cubes of pork and beef. You want them a little bigger than a typical stew meat size. I put out various sauces and dips for the meat. We stabbed a bit of meat, let it cook for about a minute, then put it on the plate to cool just a touch. Then dip it in the sauce and YUM! We were able to put 6 to 8 forks with meat in at the same time, and over and over and the pot was able ot maintain temperature the whole time. BTW set it to 350 if your wondering. The manual says 2 and 3/4 cups oil. That is a good start, but over time you will have to replace some. So keep a small bottle at the ready.We tried some pastry wrapped mozzarella cheese, and some wrapped Hershey Kisses. Good idea, but we need to work on how best to prep them. Next time I am going to use string cheese that we probably bread up different (not sure quite how yet). And the Kisses are too hard to stab. So we will try like mini 3 Musketeers or something that we will wrap in the pastry. Wife also had the idea of making little balls with biscuit dough and then having a bowl of cinnamon sugar to dip them in as soon as they are fried. Sort of like donut holes I guess. Sounds good, and I am excited to try.

We bought this last Christmas but just used it this Christmas Eve (I forgot about it 🤦🏼‍♀️.) it was bigger than I thought, which was nice. Lots of sticks. It heated up quickly and had an easily cleaned coating. My family enjoyed it!

Bought it thinking it would break quickly and not hold the correct temp, my family traditional will serve fondue in a large dishes heated with sternos. I was mistaken! I actually like this better! It’s stays very hot, makes it extremely easy to keep foot warm and works great even for heating oil for my beef fondue dishes. The cord is a little short but East to use an extension cord and fix that problem. The surface is extremely easy to clean, I made queso in this a few weeks ago and I soaked over night and I was able to wipe off the stick on cheese with just a paper towels once wet.

I had a rough first start with this pot, and I blame it on the instructions and the temperature gauge labels.The instructions do not mention that the “on” light doesn’t stay on the whole time, this lead me to believe the cord was getting disconnected when it was not. The light turns on when it is heating, and turns off when the pot is at the correct temperature. When it starts to cool too much, the light comes back on and the pot reheats.Also, the temperature gauge is incorrectly labeled. When you turn the knob just a little bit, the pot starts to warm up. If you turn it to 200° and expect the thing to be just “warming” you’ll be burning your fondue. I ignored the gauge labels and just played it by sight- this works much better. Ignore the labelsOtherwise- loved it. It worked great, nothing burned and cleanup was SO easy.

My husband enjoyed going to the restaurant so much that we recreated the experience at home with our kids. They love it! We always do 3 courses- cheese, meat/veggie, and chocolate. The nonstick surface of the pot makes it easy to clean. Pro tip- Boil broth with vegetables in a pot on the stove during the cheese course. Remove cooked veggies. Wipe out pot and add broth. Now you can cook all your meats. When this course is done, wipe out pot once more and begin chocolate course. So delicious.

I was very surprised to see that he unit can be washed in the sink without any worries of water damaging the unit as it is very well sealed.We did a test run by cooking meatballs in a beef broth, broth came to a boil very quickly and when we set temo to about 220 it continued to boil very nicely, meatballs cooked in 10 minutes. Very happy results.Word of caution, make sure you have a rubber spatula to stir as the heating coil runs under the bottom surface, this will be with all makes, if not stirred the risk of burning can occur.Clean up was a snap, soapy water and a scrubby the ceramic coating is awesome.I do recommend.It is great in todays market to have a brand that performs according to their reputation.

Not used yet but brought back many memories as once received as gift at least 50 years ago same brand zoster. Can’t wait to put to use.

I’ve wanted a fondue pot for years. Finally purchased this one for a date night. It came faster than I was initially quoted. I used a broth recipe that was phenomenal. We used it all up (4.5 cups). I thought it was going to be a pain to clean with how much was left and was so hot. Nope! Put some water in it and the leftover broth and residue just started to come off. It was amazing. I’m looking forward to trying it again.

Tengo una parrilla igual y es muy solida, además de ser muy fácil de controlar la temperatura- Igualmente es fácil de lavar ya que no se pega el alimento (queso, chocolate, etc.) pues es de cerámica.

Très belle chaleur va très bien

Ich verstehe nicht warum ich in Deutschland dieses Fondue Gerät für USA bekommen habe. Ich bestellte es durch Amazon Deutschland als ich in Deutschland lebe. Das Gerät sieht sehr schön aus, aber hat einen amerikanischen Stecker und funktioniert nur mit 120V. Wir haben aber 220V hier. Es geht so fort zurück. Kein Fondue heute, wir fliegen natürlich nicht in USA das Gerät zubenutzen.

Good item, but be careful if you order this in Australia it will need a transformer to work

Nous l'avons utilisé pour une Fondue Chinoise. Il s'est très bien acquitté de sa tâche. Produit que je recommande.
