Whether you want a romantic meal with a loved one, or a great way to feed guests at a get together, this electric fondue set is the perfect answer. With stainless steel surrounding the forks and pot, this fondue set looks fantastic.
It has six forks that can be guided into the pot with the guides on the side and set in there without falling in. Additionally the pot itself comes with two handles that make it easy to transport.

Final Analysis
The Trudeau 0823004 Electric Fondue Set is priced at about two times that of normal fondue models so you should expect it to be twice as good as those as well. Fortunately it mostly holds up. The breakaway cord is something that, on other models, just falls off if you breathe on it, however on this model it actually stays put unless it needs to be broken away should an incident occur.
Additionally this model has nice stainless steel features and a very even heating base that is perfect for those hard to do cheese fondues.
Where this model lacks is the fact that it is not as large as others, which can be good and bad. Since it is smaller the heating is much more even, and it can be easily transported – on the flip side it can’t hold as much as other models.
This Fondue set is big enough for a 3 person family. I originally bought it to satisfy my families need for a convenient way to serve stew. With 6 stainless steel forks included, it’s easy to serve my family some of my homemade favorites. It makes a fantastic cheese fondue and even makes chocolate dishes a snap. However, it’s not good for oil dishes because it can’t get the oil up to 375 degrees, but that’s OK. Otherwise it’s a fantastic Fondue Set.
We bought one for our daughter and she uses it on special occasions. A Fondue Set just isn’t something that you use everyday. Instead, it’s more like a holiday treat server than anything else.
That doesn’t make it any less important, just wanted everyone to know that this isn’t an everday cooking item. It heats up quickly and is very easy to use. Hopefully, everyone can find a place on their table for this wonderful set. The Holidays wouldn’t be the same without it.
