Appliance purchased fondue, with a second classic, for a fondue party with family (3 devices for a large table) Very happy with this purchase for the children's table: no flame, so no risk to 4 pairs of small hands not always attentive. Everything went smoothly and I would recommend this device for this reason. In addition, the pot is cleaned thoroughly, avoiding its coating cheese from sticking. However, adults preferred the traditional devices (cast iron or other), for them more representative of the "real fondue" !!
