I did quite a bit of hunting before purchasing this one, and I'm exceptionally happy with it. The enameled cast iron dish will last virtually forever, and it's just as high-quality as my Le Creuset cookware; definitely don't waste your money on the Le Creuset Fondue pot, costing more than twice as much. Likewise, the cheap stainless steal pots won't do as nice of a job spreading the heat, and the ceramic pots can't take much heat on the stove (I shattered my first one from Treudeau). Another nice perk of this product is that the burner features a wick-like object that allows you to use alcohol right in the dish, rather than paying extra for the gel fuel - a nice cost-saver you don't find in some of other products. All in all, I'll be enjoying all sorts of cheese and chocolate fondues in this for many years to come!

Elegant, good-looking and solid-made product. Looks the best and from what I have seen, IT IS the best in its price range.

PROS:
- Solid structure
- overheat protection
- price

CONS:
- very poorly made forks
- cannot adjust burner's fire when it's burning - too risky
- 3oz of denaturated alcohol burns only for 20-25 mins, not 90 as some sources claim

If you tend to making food fast and want to enjoy it watching TV, think twice - you'll have to invest more time into making fondue than you plan now. Your show for tonight will probably be "Getting this fondue set working" instead of your regular House MD or something.

As this is my first Fondue set and never had owned one before. It was easy to set-up an clean-up was not bad. I tried a cheese recpie that I found on [...]. It turned out great and would make again. I would only advice I could offer is keep the box as most people don't have storage for like this, I plan on using this here and there so I wouldn't leave this on a counter top year round. It is attractive enough to do so if one wished I guess.

Rachael Ray 1-1/2-Quart Cast-Iron Fondue Set, Orange I recently hosted a Fondue party and needed an extra Fondue pot. The design and quality of this Fondue set did not disappoint; I had it going for hours! Very sturdy and fed up to 20 people easily. I searched hi and low and am glad I decided on this particular set.

This pot heated well and maintained the correct temperature.
Clean-up was a breeze. This is an attractive and functional
product.

I love this fondue pot; I bought three, one in each color -very festive. I noticed that there have been some complaints about the fuel used, which is denatured alcohol; but you should have no problems finding this at your local hardware store, right next to the paint thinner.

Works great! So much fun with friends and family. Note that its hard to clean- but not moreso than other fondue pots. Plus, the color is great! Highly recommended for fondue lovers!

I gave this to my mom and her husband last year as a gift. They LOVED it, thought it was perfect. The size and quality of this set is great! The color is a bold and bright orange, right up their alley as far as color! They love to entertain, so it was perfect gift! We also bought a mini fondue book from amazon, so many reciepes, soups to deserts, so look for one of those. I would recomend this to others, I hope this review helps!

Rachael Ray Cast Iron 1-1/2-Quart Fondue Set, Orange is a wonder product when you can find one. My daughter-in-law loved it and uses it on a regular basis with her family of 4 under 5.

I haven't used the Fondue pot yet, but I liked the size, weight and forks that go with it. It looks sturdy and attractive. Perfect for 4 but I am thinking 6 may be pushing it.
