Twine Farmhouse Kitchen Enamel Cast Iron Metal Stand, Chocolate Melting, Cheese Fondue Pot Set, 8.5", Off-Cream

Great 6th wedding anniversary gift...solid iron with good looking color. Bought the Amazon suggested sterno and melted the cheese in this unit. No need to heat in a pot and transfer...just cut small pieces and take your time enjoying the process. I would consider getting a second or third one to have a chocolate, oil and cheese option for a larger dinner experience.I do agree on the comment concerning lack of direction on how to use provided burner. It looks like a zippo wick but there is no suggestion for what to pour in there or how to use it, but I wouldn’t give it 1 star over that.Get a beautiful set and take your time making food with love. It’s a fondue pot not a microwave.

Pretty and worked well, did chocolate fondue

I was very worried when I got the box. It was damaged on the edges and clearly banged up by the postal system, however it was so perfectly packed there was NO damage thank goodness! I've used it several times. It cleans up nicely. I bought cans of sterno at Sam's Club and it works great. You do have to keep stirring but it stays warm. It cleans up great. Fun for the family gatherings. I would highly recommend. Good strong quality built.

I was concerned that this product would be lacking in some way dude to the price being half that of comparable products. Without having the more expensive option to directly compare to, I can say that this product stands up to every hope and expectation I would have for the more expensive alternative. Versatile and easy to use, easy to clean (if you let cheese fondue get too hot and burn, it loosens easily from the enamel coating), and ideally sized for 2 to 6 people. I highly recommend this product, and I’m someone who appreciates quality.

This fondue pot is so pretty! It’s made of cast iron and the enamel is a creamy white, it’s beautiful! The pot works great! I have used it for several dinners, my kids love it. It comes with a gel burner but this is just the container for the gel fuel. The fuel is sold separately.

As it states this is a great fondue pot made out of cast-iron. The fact that it's made from cast-iron makes it a DREAM to keep warm, and ready to eat, on the STOVE prior to putting over the sterno. The included flame box can hold a standard can, or can be a pour in style fuel cell.Great pot!

It's sturdy and really attractive. I used it for cheese fondue and it worked well. My guests thought it was beautiful. The "chrome gel fuel burner" is cheaply made, as are the forks, especially compared to the forks of my original 1971 fondue pot. The descriptions says the pot comes with a "a rubber wood base plate," which is actually just wooden. I don't see how rubber would work. The biggest drawback is that the solid cast iron base gets extremely hot, as I found out when I went to cover the can of Sterno I used to heat the cheese. Keep your hands away from the base, and always use the wood base plate or your table top will feel the heat. The base on my retro unit is steel and has lots of space to reach in and cover the Sterno can, without getting singed. For a few bucks more, they could have made the forks nicer and the burner more substantial. I'll be using the pot regularly but will be hunting for a nice set of retro forks.

I like the enamel coating of this cast iron fondue, but didn't like how it was packaged poorly by the seller glad it wasn't a gift, the cast iron on the stand is chipped. Keeping it regardless its beautiful and will last.

This is a beautiful fondue set. Great quality and matches my beach/nautical/farmhouse decor. Very happy with my purchase. This works very well. Box came already opened which I wasn’t too happy about considering I paid new price. However, the product is great.

This is beautiful

Very nice materials

Upon receiving this item on my doorstep, I was immediately disappointed and wanted to give it one star. The flimsy box arrived all bashed and torn, patched with bits of packing tape, and looking like it had been stored in my grandma's basement along with the Christmas decorations for the past 50 years. Oddly, the *underside* of the top piece of the burner was also thick with dust and particles, as though it had been sitting next to the box in my grandma's basement, also for 50 years. It would have really sucked if I'd planned on giving this as a gift and would have required repackaging. Fortunately it was a gift to self. After recycling the shitty box and cleaning up the important bits, I discovered a very lovely little fondue set. The cast iron pot is solid and a perfect modest size for 1-4 people (holds about 4 cups with an inch of clearance). The entire set is well made, no cheap parts. The solid metal stand fits nice and snug into the pretty wooden base. I bought it partly for the nice wooden fork handles. No crappy plastic here to ruin the environment! In the end I feel this is a 5-star purchase, but I've deducted one star due to the lack of instructions. I had to hunt around the internet for help on how to use the thing. There are surprisingly few clear instructions on how to safely use a fondue pot. I ended up pouring 1-2 oz. of Swiss Fire Gel into the base (worked it into the holes with a Q-tip) and it burned nicely for about 45 minutes. I'm really happy with this fondue pot. The end.

As other customer mentioned - My box also arrived totally bashed up and even torn in places - all the corners were scuffed and it looks like its a used/opened set or has been on a shelf for years and years. I was going to give this as a surprise gift, but i %100 can not do that. I had a look inside the box and everything seemed to still be in one piece, the build of the fondu bowl itself seems solid - but the fact it arrived in such poor condition, doesn't make me trust whats inside. Shame, as the design on the box itself was pretty and the fondu set had great potential - but the company should not be sending sets out in this condition, especially during christmas when alot of items are purchased as presents. Would be keen to hear back from the seller as to why the boxes are in this state. Thanks
