Overview
This NutriChef fondue fountain is an electric, three tier stainless unit built for melting and holding chocolate, cheese, or caramel for dipping. The pot holds 16 ounces, roughly two cups, and the hot plate warms to about 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
The unit heats with a 40 watt hot plate rather than a stronger heating element, so melting a full pot takes about three to five minutes rather than being immediate. At 7.5 by 7.5 by 13.6 inches overall, it is sized for a party dessert table rather than a commercial dipping station.
- 16 oz (2 cup) melting pot
- 40 watt hot plate warms to about 140°F
- Motor-driven three tier cascade
- 7.5 x 7.5 x 13.6 in overall size
Who it's for
Suits someone hosting a birthday, holiday gathering, or small wedding dessert table who wants a dipping fountain for fruit, cookies, or marshmallows. It is not built for continuous commercial use or for feeding a very large crowd from one pot.
Pros and cons
- Works with chocolate, cheese, and caramel, not just chocolate
- Compact footprint for a dessert table
- Melts a full pot in about three to five minutes
- 16 ounce pot capacity is modest for a large gathering
- Hot plate is only 40 watts, so melting is not immediate
Performance notes
A motor keeps melted dip cycling through the tiers while the 40 watt hot plate holds the pot around 140 degrees Fahrenheit, warm enough to keep chocolate, cheese, or caramel pourable once melted.
