Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Electric Fondue Pot Set with Temperature Control, 6-Color Coded Forks, for Cheese, Chocolate, Hot Oil, Broth, 3 Quart PFAS-Free Nonstick Interior, Gray (86202)

In our family, New Year’s Day is not just about turning the page to a fresh chapter—it’s about dipping into the sweetness of shared moments. For as long as I can remember, our tradition of making chocolate fondue has been the centerpiece of the day, a ritual as rich as the melted chocolate itself. And while the Hamilton Beach 3-Quart Fondue Pot is simply the vessel for this tradition, it has quietly played its part in weaving our family closer together. The pot itself is reliable, with its consistent heating and perfect capacity to serve everyone gathered around the table. It’s unassuming, functional, and does its job without fanfare—qualities that mirror the humble yet essential role it plays in our lives. It keeps the chocolate warm as we laugh and share stories, from recalling the highlights of the year past to dreaming aloud about the one ahead. But it’s not the pot’s adjustable heat or ease of cleaning that makes it special. It’s the way it stands at the center of the table, surrounded by bowls of fruits, marshmallows, and other dippable treats, inviting us all to slow down and savor not just the chocolate, but each other’s company. It’s in the moments when someone accidentally drops a strawberry and the room fills with laughter, or when the youngest family member gets their first taste of chocolate-dipped joy. The fondue pot reminds me that some tools, though simple, are profound in their purpose. It doesn’t just melt chocolate; it melts the barriers of busy lives, pulling us back together for one warm, delicious moment at the start of each year. So while the Hamilton Beach 3-Quart Fondue Pot may not be the flashiest kitchen gadget, for me, it is priceless. It’s a keeper of traditions, a builder of memories, and a quiet witness to the joy and love that flow so freely when we gather around it. For that, I can’t recommend it highly enough—not just for its functionality, but for the role it plays in something much sweeter than chocolate.

Love this! Works perfectly for chocolate. It gets very very hot so watch out for that. Check the temps in the manual for appropriate heat levels. Melted the chocolate in no time at all. Great buy. I recommend using hot water to clean.

This is a super nice fondue pot for deep frying! My family and I have had a wonderful time using this! It's super nice because it has a breakaway cord in case something would be bumped! It would not be pulled off the table! It has a nice fill area. I'm coming with its own little sticks is even a bonus! I would buy this again! I highly recommend it! The quality of it is excellent! The use of cleaning it as excellent just a puppet into the dishwasher! It's nice and thick but still light weight. Definitely worth the money for this fondue pot!

This was perfect. It was plug and play easy to use. I looked up a few recipes online and were able to have melting pot at home. My kids were so excited for cheese course and making their own chicken. Nonstick pot was super easy to clean. And it heated up fast so we didn't have to wait long in between courses. With the lower price point Im debating buying a second one so I don't have to wash it between courses. Only wish I have is that it came with 8 forks instead of 6. For a family of 4, 6 stitcks was hard. But I can always buy those separately. (Ps I did appreciate that they were different colors, sadly I didn't notice that until we had already gotten confused whos was who's.

It works great. My wife and I will have the cheese fondue for dinner and clean up is very easy. There are a lot of recipes on line. I haven't used it for broth or desert fondue yet. But it's time is coming. Also, I like the style.

Great little Fondue pot. Holds temp really well and heats up quick

Heats to the perfect temperature. We use this for cheese and chocolate and it works great for both! Big enough to serve a crowd!

I got a fondue pot on a whim for my daughter's birthday sleepover. She doesn't like cake and I was trying to think out of the box and it was a crazy success!!!! The kids LOVED it and I've never see kids devour so much fruit so quickly! It was so easy to use. My only negative is the cord isn't very long so we had to put it on the table after it had melted without it staying on. The kids ate it so quickly that it wasn't an issue. The chocolate melted quickly and it was super easy to clean as well. It comes with 6 color coded fondue forks and the plastic rim to rest them against. We even tried out another recipe for dairy and gluten free chocolate fondue mix and it worked great for that too. My kids keep asking to get this out and we love love having it and it's an easy way to get them to devour fruit!

Se ve bonito y funciona bien

Le contenant est trop grand surtout pour des fondues fromage et chocolat. Le câble est en 2 pièces, celle magnétique attachée à l’appareil et trop courte obligeant d’avoir le câble de raccord sur la table (pas sécuritaire) et cette portion est trop lourde ce qui fair que le contact magnétique se décroche aisément.

Funcional

Buen material vs. Precio

No vienen los tenedores codificados de 6 colores que mencionan en la descripción del producto y en el ticket de compra.
