Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hoffritz HZFD2 Fondue Maker
Customer Review: Perhaps not what you want
Summary: 3 Stars
Don't use this pot for Fondue Bourguignon unless you enjoy being disappointed. It never heats the oil sufficiently to sear the outside of the meat. Consequently, food takes too long to cook and comes out slightly rubbery. Even if you preheat the oil before placing it on the base (something the manufacturer warns against), the built-in thermostat works against you. The pot is probably ideal for cheese, broth or dessert fondue. It's also beautiful and cleans up easily. I would definitely have given it 5 stars if it maintained a higher temperature.
Description of Hoffritz HZFD2 Fondue Maker
With its 700-watt heating base, this fondue maker eliminates the fuss of heating a mixture on the stovetop first and then lighting a chemical burner underneath the serving pot. The base has four temperature settings for heating cheese, broth, oil, and chocolate fondues from scratch and then maintaining them at a serving temperature. The fondue maker is also useful for serving warm buffet food and hot dips such as bagna cauda. Handsomely made of stainless steel with a satin finish, the pot holds 2 quarts, ample for six guests. It has a rubberized, stay-cool handle with a stainless-steel inset. The base is clad in matching stainless steel, with a black plastic accent band around the bottom. Six color-coded stainless-steel forks with plastic handles and a removable ring to hold the forks in place on the pot's rim are included. The forks and pot are dishwasher-safe. --Fred BrackFondue Sets & Accessories
