Does this pot work well with cheese and chocolate?

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.

It burned slightly with the cheese but we think it is because we put in way too much cheese. We have not tried it with chocolate but I expect it would work well. We are happy with the purchase.

I haven't had mine that long but I purchased mine to use in making cheese. I have used it three times to make cheese and I have left it in milk until my mixture comes to temp. The directions tell you not to place it on the bottom of the pot. I love it.

I've used this pot for preparing a variety of foods and never had a problem.

I would not recommend it. It has started to chip inside the pot. I only use wooden spoons.

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.

Haven't tried it, but don't see why it wouldn't work. If the pan is well greased, and the chocolate is allowed enough time to harden, seems to me as if it would work. Sure will take a lot of chocolate, though!

I believe that it was designed for pasta. Well, that is what I use it for. I actually use this pot for a lot of things, anything that needs to be strained or steamed. Hope this is helpful.

I have melted chocolate in mine directly. What I found that worked was to use PAM spray in the fondue pot first. It doesn't need a lot, just a little so that it doesn't melt and burn. If you are in a hurry, then go ahead and pre-melt it. I also put a little cream, or whatever liquid you want to melt with it, and it worked fine. I have been a fondue lover for many years, and am on my third fondue pot! Good luck and enjoy your chocolate!

I havent tried potatoes or cheese but Ive used it on many apples and zucchinis and it cuts quickly and easily! I would think it would be the same with potates.

Hi! I have not tried it on cheesecake, so I did a little testing for you. I cut quiche and it works great. And I cut a slice of cheese from a cheese block. Worked great! I would say it would work well with cheesecake if it cuts those other food items. My son loves his knives.

Well if you want to melt the cheese yes you can use it cuz you know you can put at pot in the bottom to boil water and then you put over the aluminion pot and with the heat produce by the pot with water you can melt the cheese for macaroni or any other food ok bye

Regret the late response. Think of the air pot as that decanter at Panera. You can fill it with anything, and from a pump action, the liquid comes out. I love it for being one of the best at keeping liquids hot for a long time. Now my suggestion would be do not let the hot chocolate sit (form more than two days) bacause there is a tube internal that liquid flows through (about the size of a bubble tea straw) that may clog if the chocalate left to hardened.

It would work to make a double-boiler with a glass bowl, but it is taller and narrower than the pot I use for that purpose. I use a dutch oven and a large stainless steel bowl to melt chocolate. If you've got a medium glass bowl, it will be fine. I use this pot to heat up soup, milk for cocoa, cream when I am making caramel candies, etc.

It has 3 ridges, which makes it adaptable to a variety of base pans. I had no problem finding 2 or 3 pots in my cupboard which fit adequately. My only frustration is that the bottom is curved, so it can't sit flat by itself on the counter after the chocolate is melted

Yes, not bad, but I'd make sure the cheese was firm and cold. You would need to use the large-hole grater. This gadget works well, cleans easily, holds a good sized piece of cheese but the handle is a little awkward.
