Made in China: The fondue set was purchased because the pot should be made of stainless steel. Is it also, unfortunately, but the device is not totally thought through. 1. The supply cord is so short that they would not even extend to the edge of the table (about 50 cm). So would her an extension cord, the clutch would be "aesthetically" on the table. As I am professional, I have the cord to 2 meters in length renewed (fumbling). 2. The bowls are so small that you can leave them out safely. Considering 8 people should use the fondue, then you would be permanently on reloading the content. What shoud that ??? I have omitted it, because I do not want to initiate long-lasting conversation with my guests with this deficiency. The heat is good and makes a nice surface crust to both the meat and the fish. I would like to pay 5 more if these two above mentioned shortcomings were absent. But maybe you learn I China also do so.
