Swissmar F65004 Lugano 1-1/2-Quart Cheese Fondue Pot, Cherry Red

I like that the pots heat distribution is so even.It is heavy so it doesn't slide around. It is beautiful ,looks like ceramic but so much better for keeping the cheese fondue hot.i have been preparing cheese fondue for decades now and this is by far the best pot i have owned.

I LOVE this pot. The enameled cast iron is beautiful and durable. Heats very well and retains heat well. I purchased this to replace a cracked ceramic pot - the cast iron is vastly superior in my opinion for durability and heat retention! Care must be taken to thoroughly dry. As well ensure that you are not using any sharp metal forks or utensils

Have not used etensively. Seems really good and is heavy to use. Will probably hold heat well. Can't wait for next cheese fondue opportunity.

Heavy pot with glazed covering that distributes heat well.

Finally got around to testing it with some actual cheese fondue, it works great for heat distribution! It was a bit tricky to scrape the cheese at the bottom, but it came out great without any burning compared to the ceramic dish which I used previously. Love the classic red color of it as well. Just be careful when handling it as it is quite heavy (as expected of the material) and the handle is cast iron too. Great size for holding a big volume of cheese without having to worry about spillage / overflow.

Concerned about lead and chromium

Just what I was looking for. Having lived in Switzerland for over 8 years, I wanted to have a Fondue Pot that could do the job and remind me my time there. Very nice pot and getting plenty of compliments every fondue night!

This is a fine fondue pot, attractive and solid. Have used it once so far, and it cooked the cheese slowly on a gas stove and was easy to clean (after scraping leftover cheese from the pot first, to munch on later). Please note, we serve fondue in this pot on an electric hotplate, after first preparing the fondue on the stove. I have never liked the sterno heating cans as a heating element when serving -- the heat is too low and unpredictable.My only reservation, is that the metal handle needs a mitt when pot s hot.

I only use cast iron pots for cheese fondue, the one I had was 50 years old and I only got rid of it because it was chipped around the rim. It was also a Swissmar brand and that's why I bought this brand again and the price was right too.

Fabulous pot. Maintains even heat and cleans nicely when you follow the care guidelines in the packaging. Love it!!
