Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

This is a versatile product with 64 ounces cooking bowl. It is constructed of durable material that makes it last long performer.
The fondue pot is also comprised of handy cool-touch handles that are powered by LED Indicator light. The product is secure to be placed on any kitchen table or countertop and includes 6 dipping forks.
Cooking bowl can be removed from the heat and used a serving bowl. 64 oz capacity provides room for six dipping forks at once
Another great thing about the pot is that it has an adjustable temperature control so that you can control the cooking easily.
NutriChef looks very classy and it has a nonstick surface. It is also heat resistant. It has an attractively simple design with a built-in knob and a power led indicator which can be used in order to adjust its temperature settings.
-
Its hand-washable design is not only easy to clean, but is also counter top-safe.
-
Cool touch handles keep your hands from getting burned when moving or transporting the pot. Other handy features include a removable serving bowl and adjustable temperature for optimal results, whether you’re making cheese, broth or chocolate fondue
- Heavy
The capacity of the cooking bowl is 2+ quarts, and it’s removable.
The cool to touch handles and adjustable temperature makes serving easy
The nonstick pot is heat resistant and you can place the set on a countertop and kitchen table.
The six color-coded forks make the set perfect for partying and other social gatherings.
Handles remain cool to the touch
The removable cooking and serving bowl of this particular Fondue Pot makes it easy for you to melt either cheese or chocolate. It will also enable you to use low and even temperature to melt your delicacies without burning them.
The attractive unit has a dark red base and black pot. The removable cooking pot is Teflon-coated and non-stick. This makes it easy to clean after use.

What reviewers didn't like

some complained that the cooking is slow.
not the best option for cooking raw meat
Cord is too short for some users
Smaller capacity compared to other products
-
Has unhealthy nonstick Teflon coating.
Upon initial heating, there is a smell of burning plastic but the manual mention that beforehand
The heat deployment is low and isn’t enough to retain the heat.
There is always a drawback, and with this appliance, I have to say it is the length of the electric cord. While the pot can be moved easily with the cool-touch handles, the cord would benefit from being longer.
