Could I use this for fondue - oil in one pot, cheese in the other?

Sure you can but there are not separate controls so I think the cheese would get too hot. Or the oil might be too cool. We haven't tried using oil yet. Maybe someone else has?

Absolutely! We still love this crockpot a year later. Great for fondue, or for serving three different hors d'oeuvres Or making three different soups at the same time.

I don't think so. It doesn't work well with moisture. Cheese would be more moist than fondant. Even fondant after a while you have to let it sit for awhile.

They say you can but I prefer to sue silicone on all my pots with coating on them. BTW I love the pot makes great chicken and dumplings.

You have to start on the stove, but even at the lowest setting, the fuel burner below can burn the center of the base of the cheese fondue. I have never tried heating oil or chocolate with the fuel burner alone.

Yes, it can be used for both things, aince it is a slow cooker. The quart capacity is unknown though. I hope this helps you.

yes, but you would have to be making a huge batch. I have used it for making everything from cheese, to apple sauce, to bone broth.

I like the ceramic pot for cheese...the oil heat is too hot for most cheese...you don't want it to stick to bottom...Refer to your instructions again, I'm not home so I can ck mine...this is my preference.....PF

Sure. As long as the pot can be balanced between the 2 handles properly. I did it all the time.

Hi, I don`t know from experience as I have only had it a short time and used it only once, but I do know this. There is a sentence in the manual that says to prepare cheese and sauces in a saucepan and then transfer it to the fondue pot after. Also, in the fondue book I downloaded, they also recommend that...but of course they don`t know that I own this particular version. By the way, I am about to try my first real, bonifide fondue tonight complete with wine and spices. I am not disappointed that I bought this product. I bought it second hand, but it was like new. If you have other questions or get ideas, I would love to hear them. Hi, I don`t know from experience as I have only had it a short time and used it only once, but I do know this.

Yes, I have used the Lugano fondue pot for both cheese fondue and beef fondue. It can also be used for the chocolate fondue, but I prefer a smaller pot that doesn't get quite as hot because too much heat affects the texture and taste of good chocolate.

My experience is no. Cooking yes, warm no. Fondue pot would work much better. Butane fire is just too hot.

Yes you can. It is very versatile and easy to do everything in one pan. I have used it to saute vegetables for soup and brown pot roast before cooking it.

Not as well as a thicker pot. I use the base of this with a swissmar clay pot. The thicker pot spreads the heat out so the chocolate or cheese doesn't burn.

I have not tried it but I don't think it would work. The cheese and sauce would get all over the inside of the bag and be a mess. Probably not worth the effort. The microwave would be a better choice

No; Open flame will cause it to burn. It works fine for other areas but not the bottom of a fondue pot. Go get some VHT ceramic flame proof "header" paint used on the exhaust system of racing cars. If you can burn that, I'll eat my hat.
