It is great, the votive keeps the cheese plenty warm and it is attractive

My old expensive SS fondue pot was too big for fondue date night, and no matter what I tried, the sterno would burn the cheese and make cleanup a pain!.This little beauty is just the right size for 2-4 people

Have only had a cheese bubbly, which was cooked on the stove first, but found this unit does a good job of keeping cheese hot.

Even with the traditional Swiss fondue pots, cheese tends to burn/form a ball close to the heat source, so I give the fondue a little swirl with my bread every now and then

I used a proper fondue cheese recipe and for the chocolate I used a special ordered dark chocolate prepared specifically for fondue and fountains

The candle does a good job at keeping the cheese warm, and you even get la religieuse on the bottom of the pot

Tea light does keep cheese warm.

I would let it sit on the flame for too long, mix it and move it next to the base then put it back when cheese gets harder

You will need to stir often and get to the bottom for the hottest cheese.
