Rival Fondue Review

I recieved my Rival Fondue Pot as a wedding gift about 3 years ago and I LOVE IT!!!  It's easy to use, easy to clean and comes with it's own recipes.  The power cord attaches to the heating element with magnets so you can wash it in the dishwasher. (don't forget to pull the heating element out before washing).  Washing in the dishwasher will make the bottom part kind of white and cloudy but you don't see the bottom when it's sitting on your table.  The cord is VERY short and it says not to use an extension cord but unless you're going to have everyone standing around your kitchen counter to eat it you need to use an extension cord.  I've used one and had no problems.  Most recently I made a cheese fondue with it and got raving reviews from my guests.  You make it right in the fondue pot.  No cooking it on the stove or microwave then putting in the pot to stay warm.  I was suprised at how quickly it was made too.  I would say it took less than 5 minutes to make the cheese fondue.  The teflon interior makes it easy to remove the leftovers to save if you desire.  The only thing you have to watch is the magnetic connection.  If you move the pot or if someone bumps the cord it may come apart.  All in all this is a fantastic product that I would recommend to anyone and everyone!
