Okay, who here owns a fondue pot?

[Blue in a Red State]

And do you actually use it?

[Lautremont]

1. Wedding present.

And, in answer to your second question: not so far.

[Sannum]

2. i've melted things in the microwave....

and dipped things. Does that count?:P

I love fondue, but I like going to a restraunt for it. All of the chopping and cleaning pots would drive me nuts. That and my insurance company does not let me turn on my stove because I am such a domestic nightmare:)

3. Every Halloween - and sometimes in between

It really is a quick, low-thought (and good for leftovers) creation.

[Blue in a Red State]

5. What do you make?

Do you use recipes, or just wing it?

[alittlelark]

8. I BUY it - Trader Joes these days

I add vermouth, extra garlic, and misc cheeses that are 'going south'. It is truly awesome for almost all leftovers!

[Rumba]

4. I do.

I've made a cheese fondue and a chocolate fondue. Yum!

[murielm99]

We use them once in awhile.

[Zomby Woof]

10. I've never heard of "fondue" pot. Is that some kind of hybrid plant?

[Califooyah Operative]

[Seabiscuit]

14. Yes. It produces a gooey hydroponic gruyere and emmanthaler mix

Great for using as a fertilizer.

[corporatemedia]

16. Oh, so you mean it's really good shit?

[Left Brain]

[corporatemedia]

13. Jane Fondue did it with John Kerrue and Ho Chi Mue!

[Left Brain]

[soothsayer]

17. I'm breaking mine out for a retro party....!

I love cheese fondue, but sure miss doing the meat in oil one.

[samplegirl]

18. I have 2 electric pots

I use them at the holiday. Usually oil in one and misc. cheese in the other one. I get a nice steak to do in the oil then dip it
in the cheese and then into steak sauce.
There is all sorts of good recipes for the cheese. A good appetizer
for the holidays.

19. We have one and use it occasionally...

It uses an alcohol burner that makes me nervous, so we don't use it as much as I'd like. I want to get an electric one, then we'd use it a lot. I love fondue. Our favorite restaurant for special occasions is The Melting Pot.

20. I don't, but I'd like to.

Thinking about having a fondue party between Christmas and New Year's.

[cmf]

21. We have one

My mother in law gave it to us. It looks as though it's from the 70's. We use it maybe once or twice a winter. Makes for a romantic meal by the fire.

[Lavender Brown]

22. It's great for s'mores

and other things like strawberries dipped in chocolate.

[Phentex]

29. until someone gives you a s'more maker

we got one for xmas last year. I don't GET it!

[underpants]

23. I do....YEAH!

[democracy eh]

24. wedding present

never been out of the box

last fondue party I attended was a scene

not enough forks, too many people, not enough food, couldn't reach the fondue pots

box or red wine was much closer

messy

[noonwitch]

25. No, but I have an electric wok

I rarely use it, but it is good for stir-frying veggies.

[no name no slogan]

26. We own two, and we use them both

In fact, we occassionally deploy the crock pot for cheese fondue, too, if we're entertaining.

We get all three going: oil, cheeze and chocolate for desert. Mmmm, mmmmm!!!!

It's a big old-fashioned fondue fest!

[AlCzervik]

27. I have my Mom's from the late 60's

that was when they used sterno and not tea lights. I haven't used in about 5 years or so, maybe i'll break it out at Christmas.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

28. I bought mine when they were popular during the 1970s

I have an electric stove in my apartment, so I use it to cook during power failures.

[Az_lefty]

30. I have one, it's in the shed.
