Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This set kicks up the festive nature of fondue entertaining by adding a lazy Susan to the fun. The set comprises a 17-1/2-inch-diameter lazy Susan tray and its stand, both chrome-plated; six black, ceramic, 4-ounce ramekins for condiments and dipping sauces that fit into holes in the tray; a stainless-steel fondue pot in two finishes (mirror and satin) and its stand, which is also chrome plated; and a stainless-steel splash guard, which holds in place six stainless-steel, color-coded fondue forks. The fondue pot is safe for every kind of fondue: oil, broth, cheese, and chocolate, though they must first be heated in a separate pan. The lazy Susan tray is optional since the pot and its stand can be set up without the tray. Fully assembled, the fondue set and lazy Susan measure 10 inches high. Included in the set is a burner, which uses gel fuel only. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what it's cracked up to be!, January 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Roshco 16-Piece Stainless Steel Lazy Susan Fondue Set (Kitchen)

I bought two of these sets for my daughters for Christmas and am returning both of them. I am a veteran of the 70's fondue craze so I have had experience making all kinds of fondue. This set is only suitable for meat/fish. For cheese fondue, a ceramic flameproof pot is necessary - the stainless steel will be too hot. For chocolate fondue, a water bath under the chocolate is necessary. Also, the burner does not hold a standard sized Sterno - the lid will not fit on over the Sterno so there is no way to adjust the heat. My daughter invited friends for New Year's Eve for fondue and they ended up using my retro copper set with the water bath underneath for chocolate fondue and a Corning Wear French White Casserole on the stand for Cheese.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do you like scraping cheese for hours?, February 5, 2008

This pot is terrible for cheese fondue! As soon as you remove the heat when finished, the leftover cheese will solidify and it's an epic battle to scrap it off afterwards. Soaking the pot doesn't help either.

Firstly let me say that I did not make my original purchase of this unit at Amazon but at a department store over 13 years ago and at the time it was more than 4 times the price. With that said this is a very reasonable price for something that has held up incredibly well with pretty regular use. For those who tried to do chocolate fondue in this pot, you cannot do chocolate in a traditional Sterno fueled metal pot! You must use a ceramic fondue pot which has a better insulation factor to keep chocolates and cheeses from burning. Those are usually warmed by low steady heat from a candle. Cheese needs to be mixed with white wine or kirsch to make it creamier and helps reduce it's ease of burning. Metal pots such as this are for meats. Instead of oil, try chicken broth with an assortment of lean cuts of chicken, pork and beef along with shrimp and scallops for something truly amazing and actually healthy. For those of you doing cheese in this pot (I wouldn't recommend it)use a small candle instead. Also according to tradition the crust of cheese in the bottom of the pan is peeled off and eaten for good luck and has the texture of a cracker and it quite delicious! If your crust is burnt to the bottom and you can't get it out you are using the wrong type of fondue pot with the wrong type of heat source.
