Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nostalgia Electrics CFF-965 Mini Chocolate Fondue Fountain
Customer Review: hit of the party
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought a version of this fountain last year at the after xmas sales for $16. I finally used it twice this month at a couple of parties. It was a tremendous hit! The second time I ran it for about an hour, and then I noticed that it smelled like the motor was beginning to overheat, so I turned it off. So maybe like the other reviewers have complained, it is not going to last very long. But, this fountain is great fun for chocoholics.
Here's how it works: Assemble, level, and preheat the fountain. Get two 12-oz bags of chocolate chips, add 1/4 cup canola oil and microwave it (with occasional stirring) about 3 minutes, until almost hot, in a 4-cup glass measuring cup. A spout is essential to pour it into the fountain. Turn on motor. Voila, joy from your eager audience!
Here are the tips: semi-sweet chocolate was a little too sweet the first time. About half was leftover, so I poured it back into the glass measuring cup and it hardened overnight. Reused it a week later and added a bag of dark chocolate chips. Don't use toothpicks to skewer nibbles, because the chocolate is too heavy and knocks the nibble off the toothpick. Cut the nibbles large enough that people can pick up and dip.
Cleanup is not simple but not too bad. To reduce cleanup, it's a good idea to put a plastic tablecloth around the base (and covering the cord), because chocolate splatters and people drip. The tier disassembles easily and can be soaked and then put in the dishwasher. The base gets pretty messy, I have to use a lot of paper towels to get all the chocolate off of it.
I looked at getting a better one that would last longer, but this mini size is really ideal because you don't need so much chocolate. Frankly, I had 50 people for the 2nd party, and there was ~2 cups of chocolate left over. I poured it into paper cups (to harden and toss) so I could clean the fountain, and people still kept dipping nibbles into the liquid.
Oh, and warn fans not to double dip!
Description of Nostalgia Electrics CFF-965 Mini Chocolate Fondue Fountain
Our Fondue Fountains are pure indulgence. Dip strawberries, marshmellows, pretzels, cherries and more into dark semi-sweet, milk or white chocolate. Pour melted chocolate into the base and switch on the motor-chocolate travels up the tower than cascades over each tier. Each has an auger and a tower that are diswasher safe.Fondue
