Cuisinart Stainless Steel Fondue Set w/ Nonstick Bowl

Electric 3 Quart CFO-3SS

Cuisinart Electric Fondue Set Fondue parties are back in style. With what's-not-to-like ingredients like wine, melted cheese, bread--why did fondue ever go out of style, anyway? Probably because a lot of fondue makers are a pain to deal with.

With an easy-to-use-and-clean fondue maker like this, fondue parties will never go out of style at your house. It's a cinch to assemble and take apart. The stainless steel bowl is fantastic--it heats up quickly and the temperature stays steady.

I have never burned food in it-and I've "fondued" in a lot of bases-broth, chocolate, wine, cheese. (My personal favorite non-cheesy fondue is a Hawaiian pork version with a soy-pineapple dipping base. Yum.)

The 3-quart capacity is perfect for a smaller fondue party or for just enjoying with the family. You may want to crank up two of these for a larger gathering. Or use one for savory and one for sweet.

Be sure to buy an extension cord. Unless you're going to have your fondue party on your kitchen counter next to the electrical outlet, the power cord that comes with this unit is way too short to be practical. This is a very small gripe for a wonderful product, though.
