Q: Last holiday my mom got me a really awesome Rival 3-quart electric fondue pot and since then I’ve made several types of cheese fondues and some chocolate.

I was wondering if anyone has used it for more than fondue and dips? I’d love to get more versatility out of it. It seems to me I could use it almost as a crock-pot, electric skillet or at least some kind of warmer. Does anyone have experience with this or reasons why I should just ask for more appliances for this holiday?

Editor: Amber that’s a great question. We’ve wondered if we could use a fondue pot for hot pot or steamboat.

Readers, any experience with this? Have you multi-purposed your fondue pot in any way?

Next question?
