Amazon.com Review:
Fondue makes a fun, family-style meal for a group and is quick and easy for the hosts to put together. This 3-quart fondue pot serves up a family-sized bowl of traditional savory cheese fondue for bread or apple slices, dipping sauce for Mongolian hot pot, or berry sauce for dunking dessert cookies and cheeses. The variable heat settings, from warm up to 400 degrees F, make it possible to cook a wide variety of foods.

For quick and easy cleanup, the fondue pot has a nonstick interior and is dishwasher-safe and fully immersible after the removal of the temperature control. The pot sits on two heat-resistant legs that allow you to move and serve hot dinners safely. For additional safety, the power cord disconnects quickly and meets UL standards. Eight color-coded fondue forks are included to accommodate larger fondue gatherings and a slotted removable ring-rest along the rim of the pot holds forks in place while the fondue simmers. This fondue pot is covered by West Bend under a 1-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - West Bend 88503 3-Qt. Fondue Pot
I love it!I use it to cook meals with, appetizers (cheeses) and desserts.Once you have your cheese or dessert fondues melted, you will need to turn it off because it gets overly hot and you don't want to burn those items.It works great though and we love using it for everything!

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Health Hazard
This product is a health hazard. The magnetic plug which sounds like a good idea (greater safety) does not stay connected securely. If you touch the pot or move it ever so slightly the pot looses power and the temperature in the put will fall. I purchased three of these for an event and it was endlessly frustrating to keep the pots connected. At one time I bit into raw chicken because the pot became unconnected and the cooking liquid was only warm instead of hot. Poor design, stay away.

I bought this pot a year ago and have now used it several times.

The positive features:

It holds 3 quarts so it holds enough broth for 4 people to easily cook at the same time.
It has a thermostat.
It is non-stick.
It is easy to clean.
It cooks cheese fondues without scorching****.

The Negatives:

Too big to use for Chocolate Fondue.
The thermostat is very finicky.It is seemingly either boiling or off, but with much ... Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Pretty - but pretty useless
Looks very nice and sturdy coming out of the box. I liked the idea of the immersible pot for easy cleaning. However, the electrical unit falls off too easily - in fact, the cord is placed so that it knocks itself off. But the worst part is the heat control. Despite Warm, Simmer, and 250 up to 300 degrees, in reality there are two temperatures: hot to the boiling point or OFF. At "Warm," it kept at a constant rolling boil. Basically ruined the fondue and I wasted $13 on cheese, not to mention $40 on the ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What are these people talking about?
EXCUSE ME.....PEOPLE...the detachable cord is the best part of the whole thing....!!! It magnetically holds to the leads of the unit..so the cord detaches not allowing the pot to move an inch...which when filled with hot "anything" is one of the best safety features I have ever seen engineeered..So what about if you detach it..if you cant see that it is detached..you certainly don't need to fondue..just stick it back on..Gee whiz!!
