this is listed in the review for the blue pot and i think it deserves to be here as well. the pot is great, the stand is great but they don't quite fit together! the pot tends to rock a little bit from left to right and doesn't fit firmly into the base. there is a lip on both the pot and the stand that prevents it from tipping all the way over, but a 2% rock is still disconcerting when it is full of scalding hot oil! i was not happy about this at all.

before using it, i filled it up with water just to see what it would take to upset it. the lips really do keep it from going all the way over and there is no way a casual disturbance is going to knock it over. feeling a little bit better, i decided to try it out. it was great being able to heat the oil right in the pot and move it right over to the stand from the stove top. once it was on the stand, it really was solid and didn't rock during normal use, though i could have made it. it did stay wonderfully warm and clean up was a snap.

all told, pot is fantastic, stand is also sturdy, but the rock is a little frightening. considering this is one of the more expensive sets, you'd think that wouldn't be the case! that being said, it didn't make it any less functional, just a little mentally disturbing. i will contact the manufacturer to see what they say about it.

i just noticed that you can do a video review. i will try to post a video of the rock.

The item was shipped immediately and arrived on time. Pot and burner are excellent, but forget about the forks. They bend easily, and the color dots fall off. This is an excellent product, but buy quality forks extra somewhere else.

I have had this set for two years now and I use it about every other month. I have done cheese fondue and meat fondue. I works wonderfully! I have left the heat on too long and burnt the cheese several times, I just soak it in water for an hour and literaly wipe it out with the soft side of my sponge. Super easy to clean, very good quality. Great for family fun.

Easy to use, easy to clean - this fondue pot has it all. We made cheese, broth, and chocolate fondue in this pot all in one night. We let it cool in between and washed it off with just a quick wipe down. Very quick and nice transition. I loved it! We used the gel fondue fuel and it was a nice addition. It doesn't come with that so recommend purchasing that with the pot when you buy. Came with six fondue forks and a nice wooden turntable to set it on to avoid burning your table. I would highly recommend it.

This is a nice fondue set. The cast iron is really nice. Be aware that the pot is not red completely. Fades into an orange color at bottom. Also, make sure you buy some of that liquid lighter gel or something of that nature, doesn't come with anything to light on fire.

this is an awesome little fondue pot (i say little but it served 10 people with lots of leftovers). it's sturdy and has a simple, stylish design. the wooden base is a must have for the heat source too. this will get a lot of use!

I am french and now living in the US. I was looking for a fondue set as good as the one I used in France and I was not disappointed by this one. Solid, beautiful and safe. This one tick all the boxes. I would recommend it with no hesitation.

Keeps the oil for fondue hot and cooks meat uniformly. Works much better than the electric type.

This is a very nice fondue pot for cooking meats. It heats the broth or oil very well. Please keep in mind it does not do cheese well. It is advertised as Meat Fondue Set and needs to be used as such.

I bought this pot after seeing a friend use it for a chocolate fondue at her place. The color is gorgeous, a dark red at top that fades to an orange at the bottom of the pot. I've used the pot on the stove to prepare a cheese fondue with no problems and the base feels pretty secure. I haven't noticed it wobbling. This is a fondue pot that will last and make a nice centerpiece.
