Has anyone tried to use cheese in one pot? I was thinking it could be really cute to have a fondue night with my husband.

I selected this one since there were two pots but would not recommend it. It's cheap for a reason. It's flimsy and light weight. I ended up getting a real fondue pot. Now, if you really want to get this, plan on extra time for your cheese to melt and it would be a whole simpler if you made the fondue in a regular pan on the stove and then transferred it hot to this pot.

I looked on the internet. I believe the Oneida pot can be used very safely. Bon Appetite

It's the perfect size for 6 people. A little big for just four people, and huge for only 2. At least for cheese fondue. Obviously for oil fondue, the size is less of an issue if you don't mind using more oil than strictly necessary.

I think the capacity is more for if you are using it for cheese or chocolate fondue. For traditional fondue cooking, I actually fill it a bit deeper than what is indicated, but you really don't need a ton of oil or broth if you are cooking in it. And if you are doing chocolate or cheese, you can disregard the fill line. The design of this has worked well for our family because it is wider than the more traditional style fondue pots which allows more skewers in the oil at once without a lot of crowding. I like it a lot and would recommend it.

I don't now about recipes other than Google it but I made a bunch of Mac and cheese with it because we had so much pasta in our cupboard to use up. I just used it as you would on the directions to making Kraft Mac and cheese. (Boil your pasta and set aside after draining then make your sauce which consists of butter or margarine, milk and the Cheddar Cheese Powder) It came out great!!!

It has recipe s in their book that comes with the fondue pot. And yes you can melt the chocolate in the pot. but first you need to warm some cream and then add the chocolate to it. The chocolate did not need to be melted first.

Yes, I would say it's a very good idea to. Never have myself as I don't use one much, I've usually used my slow cooker for stews and chili.

I have never tried fondarific YET, BUT I am planning to do a cake with it soon. I will update my post when I do!

You will do just fine with cheese. The heat element for the "briquette" will not be enough to heat the whole thing up, it's just enough to get the briquette smoking. I'll use it for duck breast, or pork chops, just to get the smoke flavor in; it'll still be cold after 30-min smoking.

I'm sorry, i've not attempted that recipe. I've used it sparingly but each time, it's been perfect. Good luck!

I bought one and love it. I took out the small pan inside (your suppose to set the smaller one in water on the inside) and it worked nicely. I bought a very large can of nacho cheese and placed the rest of the cheese in baggies (food saver bags that were sealed) and placed those bags in a crock pot of water so it would stay warm and I could just cut a corner and pour it into the paragon. Set it on high and it will stay warm. If you have leftovers spoon it out into a container and refriderate. My food saver works wonders for this because the nacho cheese has a shelve life and you do not have to refridgate unless you open the package. I bought one and love it.

Hi Robin, this particular pot is great. At times when It's just two us. I use this pot to cook pasta, using just 8 oz. of pasta. Fill pot just over half, add some salt, bring to a rolling boil, add pasta, I cook the pasta just about 7 1/2 mins. Drain pasta into a colander,Sprinkle with Parmesan-Reggiano, Add A Ladle of sauce to the pasta and serve. This pot works great for pasta, it also works terrific to, again, for making homemade sauces. We love it. Let me know what you think, Ok?

I bought this pot to use for small meals. Used it the first day I got it. Plugged it in....added my ingredients and by dinner time that night had delicious stew. Using it like any other crock pot so I have no idea why it says that. But you can in fact cook in it. Maybe it means you can't use it on the stove.

I have, once. Haven' t quite figured out right temp/ cooking time. But I am happy to have bought a 6 inch, since most of time I only bake for 2 people. I'll soon try another cheese cake. Form cleans up niceley.

I made crumpets in the toaster oven, 20ish minutes @400F, tasted great. I was stopping by here to see if anyone tried using this on the stovetop.

You can probably lower the flame and put the fondue in a double boiler or put the pot with the fondue into a larger pot with water in it. The water will insulate the food from being scorched.
