Casa Moda "S'mores" Maker Review

Casa Moda S'mores Maker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is awesome! I got the S'mores Maker as a Christmas gift and have completely used up all 3 cans of chafing fuel that I got with the gift. I'm addicted!
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to be able to eat S'mores at any time of the year! I used to make S'mores in the microwave, but the marshmallows always got chewy. This is the perfect solution.

It has a very cute set-up and although I don't really use the little containers for my marshmallows and graham crackers (except when taking fun photos), I do keep my wrapped chocolate bars in there all the time.
At first it took forever to roast my marshmallows until I read the directions (which I should have done in the first place) and saw that there's this neat feature that lets you adjust the flame height. The bigger the flame, the faster your marshmallow roasts. If the flame is too high, your marshmallow is quicker to burn.
As for someone's comment about Sterno not recommending that you cook open food over their flame... that's because certain foods can drip into the flame and cause dangerous flare-ups if you aren't careful. They specifically say that the emissions of the chafing fuel will not cause harm. :)
If you're having trouble finding the chafing fuel, check out the list of places in the FAQ on sterno.com. I'm pretty sure Amazon sells some, too!
Happy roasting!

Bodum Stainless-Steel Fondue with Glass Insert Review

Bodum Stainless-Steel Fondue with Glass Insert

This is the best set I have seen so far. The glass insert makes it easy and quick to change from oil to cheese or chocolate. Clean up couldn't be easier because everything is dishwasher safe. The review states that cheese fondue is best prepared on the stove and then poured into the glass insert, but I have melted it in the glass every time and it has always been perfect.

All-Clad Stainless-Steel Fondue Pot with Ceramic Insert Review

All-Clad Stainless-Steel Fondue Pot with Ceramic Insert
Average Reviews:

Just bourght and used this set and absolutely LOVE it. We are regular fondue folks and this is, by far, the best set. Other sets we used were typically enamel and ended up with burnt spots in the middle and uneven heating.
Decided to go with All-Clad because I have a few of their other pans which work beautifully.
The set is all dishwasher/microwave safe which is a huge plus. The quality is superb -- even the forks. The pots are wider and much sturdier on the stand than other sets. But, the best part is the quick heat up time and even temperature. No more burnt cheese spots.
The ceramic insert is perfect for cheese or chocolate and makes the set extremely versatile.
I wish I had bought two when I had the chance. The only downside is the set costs more than most but the quality is well worth it.
The only other comment is that I wish makers would offer more forks with the sets and make it easier to identify forks. In other words, each guest should have 3 or 4 forks and all of the same color.

West Bend 88503 3-Qt. Fondue Pot Review

West Bend 88503 3-Qt. Fondue Pot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you are looking for a first or only fondue pot, this would be a very good choice. The advantage of an electric pot is the ability to control the temperature more precisely and easily, which is a big advantage. The design of this set, with the wider open mouth, does classic cheese or chocolate fondue as well as can be expected, and 8 people can easily use this set (fondue with a group requires teamwork, part of the fun). Usually the pots designed specifically for hot oil fondue have a fluted or more narrow opening, to reduce splattering. This set will work for hot oil also, but for only 3 or 4 people (with hot oil each person is leaving two forks in at a time, as opposed to dip & pull with cheese or chocolate), and with a little more clean up maybe.
The pot is easy to clean, and you can put it on the stove to get the contents started and up to temperature, then using the warmer to keep them at temp, a easier way to go. The big disadvantage on electric pots, somehow the cord must go from the center of the table down to the electirc outlet, which never really seems to be an issue. You can have a lot of fun with this reliable and good all around pot.
Fondue pots that work off candle or sterno heat can be more romantic, but much harder to control. This is really a good pot to have or to start with. My wife lived in Switzerland for 3 years, home of fondue. We have several pots, we use this one the most often. Order some extra forks while you are at it. Fondue is great fun.

Rival FD350S Stainless Steel Electric Fondue Review

Rival FD350S Stainless Steel Electric Fondue

First the heating is the best, from warm to over 400+ it heats not only quickly but more important safely! Take a close look on 'more pictures' see the 3 stage system the element is welded to the bottom of the pot the temp guide slides in and the electric cord is breakaway using hook and magnet, no way has the pot fallen or slid off the table with the 2 klutzes that live with me. We started a family Fondue Friday and have tried it ALL. Chocolate, Mex cheese, broth boil, and fry. Candles only do chocolate and cheese, sterno if not careful burns the chocolate and only hot enough to fry for 30 min. maybe. Think out side the description and put soup in it for the buffet table, or baked beans. The cord is short but a heavy duty extension solved that and the safety features resolves worry. Best for 3 to 6 adults. Our favorite is doing a sweet & sour combo of shrimp, scallops, pork, chicken, beef, everybody got to dip and fry their favorites while picking out their steamed veggies, sauces and type of rice. Amazon's shipping had this arriving quickly and in excellent condition.
