The Mini Fondue Kit (Pocket Packets) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Mini Fondue Kit is a really great idea. My girlfriend is a fondue lover, and I thought this would be perfect for her. Unfortunately, the idea was better than the execution.
The first problem is that the assembly instructions for the metal stand did not match the actual stand (at least no with the one we got.) The stand we got had three legs, not four as shown in the instructions, and it did not seem possible to bend the legs as described. We think we got it right in the end, but the instructions should be clear. (Note that the three-legged stand is probably better than the four-legged one because a three-legged stand is more stable, so maybe we got a new stand but an old set of instructions?)
A much bigger problem was that the dish was too small for some of the recipes. My girlfriend tried to make one of the chocolate fondues and the ingredients ended up completely filling the dish to the point it was not possible to mix them without spilling. Then, when she heated it in the microwave it bubbled over. Had it not spilled then, it would have spilled when she dipped something in it.
It is too bad because it was a good idea. I am going to get her a replacement. I have been looking at: Chantal Butter Warmers (ASIN B00004RKFE), Trudeau Basic 7-Piece Chocolate Fondue Set (ASIN B00029I3Q2), and the Chocolatiere Electric Chocolate Melting Pot (ASIN B00074HGJ2). The butter warmers look close to what I think this item should be: 4 oz. makes them large enough for the recipes with the Mini Fondue Kit with enough room to spare for stirring and dipping. The other two items are a bit fancier, but may be better choices. I will write an update when I have gotten one.
