This is perfect. I was nervous about buying a cheaper priced fondue set. But did not think paying $90.00 and up for one was worth it either. So I researched for a week and picked this one. All good reviews with the exception of one. Which I took with a grain assault, to operator error. This fondue pot is worth every penny. It is very sturdy, very heavy duty. Just used this yesterday for the first time. Heats up good and stays heated. Kept the fondue going for as long as there was still fondue in the pot. Cleaning this was unbelievably easy. Ran under hot water and added some soap all the cheese came off with ease. I can see this thing lasting quite a while. I would buy this again and for friends and family with no worry that they would love this fondue set just as much. I like the white it makes it look my classy, or elegant. Also the pot is cast iron with ceramic coating on the outside. Even the stand it sits on is cast iron. I'm very happy that I picked this fondue set. This was worth every penny. I would have paid 60.00 bucks for this thing, I'm glad it was only 35 bucks just as good if not better then one's that cost 2 or 3 times as much. Rest assured if you get this fondue set you will agree with me after you receive it.
