Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rival FD350S Stainless Steel Electric Fondue
Customer Review: If you love giving fondue parties.....
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoy having small groups for fondue parties so I own 4 of the Rival Stainless Steel Electric Fondue. I also own 2 of the Westbend Electric fondue pots. I am very pleased with how they perform. It beats having to change your heat source (candles or sternos) right in the middle of fonduing. I usually keep two for the dessert....melted dark chocolate with different fruits for dipping! I even take one of my fondue pots when we have potlucks at work. I usually volunteer to bring dessert and this has gotten to be a very popular item. I highly recommend this product!Customer Review: fondue set
Summary: 1 Stars
This item is a piece of junk, its greatest drawback is that it is not teflon lined and the cheese
sticks to it like glue, it is also too large for the average user as well as for the size of the packages of
fondue that you can get in a gourmet store. I even managed to break off a piece of plastic on the
controls trying to get it to click together, it turned out to be a magnet, not a good idea.Tiger Cheese Fondue - Classic Swiss Recipe
Customer Review: Cord could be longer
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this product for the most part. I bought it so I could use it on my dining room table, but the short cord didn't allow for that without using in combination with an extension cord. I noticed that for fondue for two, you have to keep the temp pretty low, and raise now & then to keep the cheese smooth. Probably works better for a larger amount, the bowl is significantly larger than the double boiler types used in fondue restaurants, so it'd be great for a party. Overall it's a nice unit, easy to clean.Customer Review: Comparison Shop at Target
Summary: 5 Stars
As near as I can tell (and I purchased 2 of these), the every day low price at Target is $29.95. Someone is trying to fool someone here.
12/08/05 Update: After many months, Amazon has finally decided to meet Target's price of $29.95. Other than the fact that this is a more suitable fondue for a large crowd (You will likely use at least 1 1/2 qts. of peanut oil when you fondue with oil.) than for an intimate gathering of 1 or 2 couples, it will do the job well.
Customer Review: Rival fondue
Summary: 3 Stars
An OK product. The pot is very large but Rival seems to have put safety over function. For example, Rival says you should not use an extension cord but the existing cord is way too short (about 3 ft). Also the magnetic connection for the electric cord is too easy to accidently brush and disconnect and the restriction to only use a maximum of 8 fondue forks in the pot at a time in this huge fondue pot seems unnecessary given the huge size of the fondue pot.
