This electric fondue pot makes it easy to entertain without the fuss of heating a mixture on the stovetop first and then lighting a chemical burner underneath the serving pot. With a power output of 100 watts and a temperature control ranging up to 425 degrees F, the pot heats cheese, broth, oil, and chocolate fondues from scratch and then maintains them at just the right temperature. Made of aluminum with a nonstick interior for easy cleanup, the pot holds 3 quarts, ample for eight or more guests. It's also useful for serving warm buffet food and hot dips like bagna cauda. Eight stainless-steel forks with rugged plastic handles and color-coded butts, as well as a removable ring to hold them in place on the pot's rim, are included, and the instruction booklet includes eight fondue recipes. With the temperature control removed the pot is fully immersible for washing and is also dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack
Product Description
The beauty of an electric fondue is that you can set the temperature and forget about it; no fussing with candles or alcohol burners. This fondue pot is lined with a non-stick surface so even gooey cheese and rich chocolate won't be a problem when the party's over. In fun and festive red, this pot's just begging you to get that party started!

Great Gift,

This review is from: West Bend 88003 The Entertainer 3-Quart Electric Fondue Pot with 8 Forks (Kitchen)
My husband bought me this for Christmas last year and it is still my all-time favorite gift. We have fondue at least once a month now and I have had a great time learning new recipes for entertaining or just a romantic dinner at home. I love the fact that you don't have to worry about a sterno and the temperature is very easily controlled. I'm requesting that he give me another one this year so that we can do full fondue meals.

This review is from: West Bend 88003 The Entertainer 3-Quart Electric Fondue Pot with 8 Forks (Kitchen)
Overall this has been a pretty sturdy fondue pot for me so far. It's simply constructed. It's got an all-in-one construction, with everything built into the pot. You just plug in the power adapter/heat control and go. No stacking 8-piece towers or cleaning a dozen seperate components. Cleaning has been easy and I haven't had any problems with the non-stick surface yet.On the minus side, the forks seem pretty cheap. One of the wooden handles broke open completely and another cracked the very first time they were used -- and this was perfectly ordinary use (just in the pot and out, no mock-swordplay or anything like that). The pot is also a bit shallow if you stick with the recommended volume for your fondue and for me it ran a lot hotter than the what the temperature control indicated (and the owner's manual instructed). I tried a hot oil fondue and thing were getting burned on the outside while raw on the inside (no such problem with my old pot). Tweaking the heat settings will get you there, but don't bother relying on the instructions or what the numbers on the dial actually say. You just need to keep trying it. This teeters a bit on the edge of a 4-star rating. I'm forgiving it some, because once you learn where to set the heat (by trial and error) it does do pretty well and I like the all-in-one construction. Ultimately, though, I think I will stick with my 15-year-old 2 quart electric that I had thought to replace with this one.

The Ease of Electric,
By Christopher S. Skinner "Curator of Juvenile M... (Hesperus, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: West Bend 88003 The Entertainer 3-Quart Electric Fondue Pot with 8 Forks (Kitchen)
I just recently purchased this fondue pot because I had grown up eating fondues that had been prepared by my mother and I always loved the easy meals it prepared, so I want one for myself. Her Fondue pot is easily 25 years old and it still works wonderfully. It like this one is electric which makes the temperature control very easy. I had wanted an electric one originally and recely was given an oil based burner-style pot like the one made by Le Creuset (sp?). It stank. Temp control was terrible, clean up was a pain, it smelled while cooking, and the forks didn't stay put, lucky the bowl was too small or I'd be fishing them out of the boiling pot. Needless to say, I bought this one to replace that one, and it is everything I had hoped for, large capacity, easy to use, super quick and easy clean-up, fork ring. If my mother's old electric one (I have no idea who made it) is any indication, I'll be loving this for another 20 years! And even better, unlike that old one, this one is non-stick!!!! The electric Fondue is the way to go, aviod the nasty oily flame kind.
