Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend 88503 3-Qt. Fondue Pot
Customer Review: Boil Baby Boil
Summary: 3 Stars
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 fiddling you can get it to keep cheese warm.
The cord constantly falls off.
Overall I think it is worth the money, just be warned it may drive you insane trying to get the temperature to the correct setting, and you will loathe the cord.
If you are in need of a big pot, this is a fair buy. Buy a smaller (1.5 quart) for some appetizer and dessert fondues as this one is way to big.
Description of West Bend 88503 3-Qt. Fondue Pot
The West Bend 3-Qt. Fondue Post is ideal for enjoying appetizers, simmering a broth to pair with dinner, or for the popular fondue dessert.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
