A vessel for sweet memories
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.

Great for entertaining
If you like to host, this is the pot for you. It’s cute, easy to wash, and heats up super quick. When I first took it out of the box i initially thought it was smaller than I expected, but when we had people over, it still held more than enough cheese for 6 people. The cord is VERY short, less than 2ft. I used just a plain extension cord (M to F, think of the long 25-50ft extension cords often used outside) and didn’t have any issues. My friends and I had a great time, and when it came time to clean up, both the inside and outside of the pot, as well as the plastic ring for the dippers, were pretty non-stick and easy to clean. The instructions state to use some kind of oil on the inside of the pot to prevent cheese sticking, I did not do this and still had to use very minimal effort when cleaning off the hardened crusty cheese that had been sitting out all night. No complaints other than the length of the cord, definitely a great find!

Huge sleepover success! Kids LOVED this!
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!

Works great
Ideal for family fondue – heats even and roomy for dipping. Only 4 stars because I put the cover on the top rack of dishwasher and it warped making it impossible to use. We manage without it but still.

Fun for the Family
We had a fondue dinner for Father’s Day. It was so much fun, and beat fighting busy restaurants. The fondue pot worked great. Temperature stayed hot and cooked the veggies and meats to our liking. Once it cooled down it was easy to clean and wash. Good purchase for us.

Love!
My husband bought this for me after I kept saying I wanted a fondue pot. This one for sure delivered in my excitement. It gets nice and hot to prepare the dish right in the pot. Nice non-stick material for cleaning. It came with a nice heat guard/utensil rest to use while in use. My kids loved the color coated utensils. Now my fondue possibilities are endless! If I had to change 1 thing it would be a longer power cord. We had to unplug it to put this in the middle of the kitchen table for the family to eat and the cheese started to cool and get a little stringy. This probably wouldn’t have happened if we could have left the heat pluged in on low. Not a deal breaker for me, I would for sure recommend to a friend.

Multipurpose!
I was surprised at how large the pot was. Served cheese fondue and really enjoyed a very hot snack. I easily adjusted the heat during the process. Will certainly use the fondue pot for other purposes.

The Fondue DOES!
We have been doing fondue evenings or parties with friends for many years. Yes, these are the things most newlywed finds on the gift table and gets stored in the garage for MANY years, or are used as boat anchors. We have always use the sterno cans, but sterno is getting harder to find, is a fingers burn hazaard, and sterno does not keep oil hot enough to cook meat. However, sterno does well for cheese temps. We decided to finally get away from the bother of steno and bought TWO of these units. If it worked as we thought we would get another, so why not get two to start? The units have good temperature control through the whole range of CheeseCool-to-MeatHot, as measured by our infrared thermometer. The handles are large enough to use with oven mitts, and the units look good on the tabletop. What else could one want? WE RECOMMEND THE UNIT.
