Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 1-3/4-Quart Traditional Fondue Pot, Marseille
Best Product From Le Creuset
Solid fondue with class
The Le Creuset pot is great. It can cook cheese, broth and oil fondues equally well. Cheese fondues won't burn since the iron heats more evenly than thin stainless sets. It won't break if dropped like the ceramic bowls. You can start on the stove, unlike the ceramic pots, so you only have one to clean. The set is very heavy which keeps it from accidentally tippping (a good thing with a pot of boiling oil). The enamel interior cleans easily even with burned -on food. Looks smarter than the cheap sets too. If you're going to make fondue more than once, get a good product.
Fondue, long part of dining tradition as much as entertaining fare, makes an elegant appearance in this Le Creuset Traditional Fondue set. The enamel coating inside ensures that the pot will not absorb odors or flavors while cast iron construction helps in retaining heat so you can dip over and over and not have to reheat. Plus, it's dishwasher safe. Includes a black enamel burner and stand, 6 stainless fondue forks with different colored ends, and a cast iron, enamel coated fondue pot. Cooks and heats on a stovetop equally well.About Le Creuset...Since 1925, artisans have been crafting Le Creuset cookware in the French village of Fresnoy Le Grand.

LeGreat!
To some the price might seem a little high, but if you are looking for a top quality fondue pot this is the one to buy. The pot itself is heavy and holds and distributes heat very well. I've used many other fondue pots with less than perfect results.
We make a lot of cheese and chocolate fondue and I have never burned either with this pot, even when the fondue has had a flame on it for a couple of hours.
The base is very sturdy and I have no fear of the pot falling off it even when the kids are goofing around trying to get last of the chocolate.
The burner always lights for me (some others I've used have not worked as well). It burns liquid fuel and jel fuel so there is never a problem trying to decide what to buy. Use the liquid when you need a hotter flame (for broths and deep frying), use the jel for a slightly cooler flame (for cheese and chocolate). But, either fuel will work for whatever you are heating.
I like this fondue pot so...
Best fondue pot I've used
I've used 6 different styles of fondue pot. This one is definitely the best. Because it's made of cast iron, scorching is minimized. Chocolates and cheeses melt wonderfully. Controlling the heat works better than others I've used.
When I get around to buying a second fondue pot, it will be this one.
UPDATE: I did buy a second fondue pot quite a few years ago now and, yes, it is the Le Creuset Fondue (only this time in flame orange). They really are great pots.
