Customer Reviews of Emile Henry Flame Top Fondue Set, Red
Customer Rating:  Summary: Nice, Traditional Fondue Comment: This is a nice fondue set manufactured in France. The caquelon (pot) is of earthenware - the material traditionally used for cheese fondues pots in Switzerland. Many other manufacturers use enameled iron for the caquelons, but cast iron is really more suited for use with oil or broth fondues to cook meat rather than cheese. Many consider earthenware the more "proper" or traditional material for cheese fondue. The particular benefit to the Emile Henry earthenware caquelon is that it is capable of being used directly on a gas, electric or halogen range top to melt the cheese. Some earthenware pots cannot be used directly on a range top without cracking. Accordingly, the fondue made in some other manufacturer's pots must first be melted in a separate pot and then transferred to the caquelon. The Emile Henry flame top pot eliminates that step. The rechaud (stand) is adequate and sufficiently sturdy, but I would prefer that it have a slightly wider base. Still, this one is fine and works well. The fondue forks are very nice. Although made of stainless steel, at first glance they look almost like wrought iron. One note of caution: Do not follow the fondue recipe included with this set with respect to the wine - it calls for far too much wine. Reduce to one third the wine called for and add warmed wine by the tablespoon thereafter if more is needed as you melt the cheese. Customer Rating: Summary: Exactly what I wanted Comment: I have admired my mother-in-law's ceramic fondue pot from the 1970s for many years. I've been looking for a similar one for a while, and I found the Emile Henry pot two years ago. I finally purchased it, and I was quite impressed. For a fondue party, I cooked cheese and chocolate fondue in three different pots: one that was metal, one that was a ceramic bowl set in a copper bowl, and my new Emile Henry pot. The Emile Henry pot cooked the best, by far. It was so easy to cook directly on the stove top and transfer to the burner stand. We put the whole pot with leftover chocolate in the fridge, once it cooled. After we re-heated the chocolate the next day, the pot went directly into the dishwasher. I love it!!! Customer Rating:  Summary: Excellent cooking and good heat distribution Comment: As I write this review, my girlfriend is cooking up some fondue in this pot. I don't know what scientific voodoo they did on this pot, but the cheese is melting really smoothly. Much nicer than the stainless steel fondue pots I've used before. More Reviews Emile Henry uses their newest technology"Flame Top" in the production of their flame proof fondue pot which allows the pot to be used directly on the stove without cracking or breaking. The pot can be started on an electric, gas, halogen or other stove top, as well as microwave oven. Once the fondue is prepared, simply place the pot in the Emile Henry stand and burner and your ready to enjoy fondue 
Choosing Appliance -> Servicing Your Appliance Buying this "service deal" can be expensive but if you feel happier knowing that you are protected from breakdown for a few years, shop around insurance brokers to see how prices compare. Choosing Appliance -> Non-stick Pans We recommend having at least 1 high quality non-stick saute pan. It makes cooking eggs and delicate items like fish a breeze. It also cuts down on the amount of fat necessary to effectively saute. The best place to buy such pans is from a restaurant supplier. Emile Henry Flame Top Fondue Set, Red
