I was not so pleased with this melter..This is my first time using a melter, and reading the other reviews i was excited to use it. ...But i was disapointed..The chocolate took a while to melt(one bag)..and it wasnt so silky.. Also the swich feels realy cheep and so does the handle..when i got it the handles where moving, it wasnt steady..i was able to move it up and down..

The only thing i liked is that it kept the choc. warm..and it was less messy than a double boiler.

I used this for the first time last night and really liked it. I am new to dipping things in chocolate and was using the microwave. I just never seemed to have any luck -- the chocolate never seemed the right consistancy, it took long to melt and it got hard so fast I wasted a lot of it.

I think the nice thing about this Wilton melter is the warm setting. To use it all you do is preheat it on the melt setting for 5 minutes, then add the chocolate. When the chocolate is at the consistency you want you switch it to the warm setting. It was great. I didn't waste a drop of chocolate and it never hardened. I also didn't have to worry about working fast so the chocolate didn't get hard. You can actually stop if you need to do something while your working.

I have never used a double boiler, so I really can't compare the two. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but it seems like a good investment. It was very easy to clean. I dipped marshmallows, pretzels and apples and had no problem. Michael's arts and crafts store also carries the Wilton.

I’m not payed to say this, but I thought it was great. I demo-ed it at a Michael’s store several months ago and was just thinkin about giving it as a gift. So many little fondue pots are candle-warming. This one heats it nicely (plugs in!) and the pot comes out of the warming case. Its non -stick, theres a spout. Its a smooth design. There are two settings – melting and warm(keeping it warm), I believe. It’s a nice little product!
