It does maintain heat well and will get the job done.

We did three courses of fondue (cheese, broth, and chocolate) and the pot heated up very, very quickly and had more than sufficient heat to bring broth to a temperature to cook raw meet quickly

Excellent consistent heating, easy to clean, great size!

We can have the cheese part and start heating up the broth then clean up the cheese and start the 2nd broth or oil (depending on who's eating

The pot worked great and the heat was easy to control as long as you kept an eye on the food and turned down the heat as needed

Works exactly as you would imagine good quality too, we use mostly for chocolate
