This was a Christmas gift selected by our son. She loves it! Double boilers were cumbersome. This allows her to melt chocolate quickly, even on a whim, to dip strawberries or any other use. I would recommend this product if you love to work with or just want to work with chocolate. My wife loves chocolate and loves to cook with it. This was a Christmas gift selected by our son.

I like to bake, and alot of the recipes call for melted chocolate. I used to use the microwave to melt it, but often the chocolate would get too hot and burn through the microwaveable dish and smell up my home. I also tried using a double boiler and it just took too long and the chocolate got hard really fast when it was no longer on the stove top. <br/><br/>Hence, I ordered the Chocolatiere Electric Chocolate Melting Pot. It came extremely quick (as does everything from amazon). The product is extemely compact and easy to store (big plus for me). I'm able to melt 10 ounces of chocolate in about 5 minutes. While that is longer then the microwave, the chocolate never comes out burnt and becomes so liquid and velvety. It's incredible beautiful to see. And the handle on the pot makes it easy to pour the chocolate into my recipe. <br/><br/>The pot is very easy to clean and I don't burn my hands on it like the double boiler. In addition, the recipes comes out so much more tasty using the pot for melting chocolate vs. the microwave. <br/><br/>While the main reason I purchased this was to melt chocolate for my recipes (mostly brownies) the product also came with cute accessories like fondue forks, chocolate molds (hearts, bears, squares, ovals, etc), a cooling rack and some other accessories, which add to the value of the product. <br/><br/>Overall I'm extremely pleased with the product and it has been a huge help to me.

It even comes with tiny little fondue forks (although admittedly, longer, nicer looking forks would have been more useful). However, if you are making candy, this pot heats the chocolate too high for tempering chocolate properly. You can still use it, you just need to watch it pretty carefully and keep a thermometer handy. For tempering (meaning the chocolate resolidifies at room temperature with a nice sheen), you should not allow the chocolate to get hotter than 96 degees F. (No, you don't need to heat it up, cool it down, and heat it up again, that's the old ridiculously difficult way of doing it. Chocolate will start melting around 92, just don't let it get much hotter.) The lowest temp setting on this device gets it up to about 109. But as I say, if you watch and stir and turn off occassionally, you can still do it. This pot is very simple to use if you just want to melt chocolate for baking or for fondue.
