Strikingly contemporary in design, this fondue set combines ashapely, satin-finish stainless-steel pot and a glass bowl insert toserve all forms of fondue: oil, broth, cheese, and chocolate. The potholds 2 quarts or more of oil or broth for festively cooking meat,poultry, seafood, and vegetables. The glass bowl insert hasstainless-steel handles to lower it into the pot partially filled withhot water to keep 1 quart or more of cheese or chocolate fondue melted.Neither the pot nor the glass bowl are stovetop-safe so oil or brothneed to be brought to a simmer in another container on the stove. Whenpartially immersed in simmering water, the glass bowl will meltchocolate, but cheese fondue is best prepared first on the stove. Sixstainless-steel fondue forks and a fork holder that fits into the pot'stop are included. Gel fuel is required, but not included. The potstands 9-3/4 inches high on an 8-1/8-inch-diameter base. All parts aredishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack ... Read more

A fantastic set!
This is the best set I have seen so far. The glass insert makes it easy and quick to change from oil to cheese or chocolate. Clean up couldn't be easier because everything is dishwasher safe. The review states that cheese fondue is best prepared on the stove and then poured into the glass insert, but I have melted it in the glass every time and it has always been perfect.

Fondue makes a Fabulous Gift!
We received this fondue set as a gift last year and we love it. It's great for dinner parties and a lot of fun! The best thing about it is that it can do cheese, broth and/or chocolate, most pots are one or the other. Also, the sterno canisters can be bought at your local store, probably in some sort of camping or bbq aisle.

It's a very stylish fondue pot, but...
I bought this fondue pot a few months ago. It's very stylish and impresses our guests when we use it. However there are two things I don't like about it:

1. Because it's a fairly tall pot, sometimes we have to stand up to check on our food, or untangle our forks:)

2. Maybe it's because of the sterno cans we use, but we never get enough heat. We finally brought down and used three sterno cans at once and it worked great!

While the pot is tall, it is a nice feature if you are using oil as it protects from splatters. I do like that it comes with a lid and a bottom to protect your table. The glass insert for chocolate and cheese is nice also. Cleanup is a snap as we put everything in the dishwasher.

My two disappointments are minor. And maybe I'm just not using the right kind of heat source. Maybe I should try something else?

This nifty device slices garlic cloves while keeping fingersfree of their aromatic oil. It readily accommodates up to three fatcloves and is spring-loaded so slices are thin and uniform. Thestainless-steel cutter has three blades for quick work. The slicer ismade of heavy, clear acrylic, with a rubber grip around its middle soit won't slip even when hands are wet. The top twists off, garliccloves go into three slots in the bottom, the top twists back on, andthen the chrome knob is turned to slice the garlic. The slicer stands5-3/4 inches high on a 2-1/2-inch-diameter base and should be handwashed in soapy water. --Fred Brack ... Read more

This product Is good
This product Is good. Does a wonderful JOb

Very good quality, does nicely, an effective gadget
Works very nicely for its intended purpose. So far, quality seems very good. I have grown to trust the Bodum name, again especially when considering the price. As long as you buy it right, this is a cost effective gadget for keeping your hands clean. I bought 3 for gifts.

The power of garlic without the oils on your skin
While at a friends and wanting more garlic in my dinner, I got to use this baby. I LOOOVE this. When cooking I am such of a fan of garlic, there is no such thing as to much garlic, is there? My only complaint about using fresh garlic is the smell of the garlic, which I love, just not permeated into my skin, not enjoyable to startle myself awake when I put my garlic infused hand over my sleeping face. I do so much more prefer the odiferous smells of fresh garlic to the powdered or salted versions on, market shleves. But I was so impressed by this simple little beauty, I put it on my wishlist, trying not to break down and buy it myself.

Anyhow, it does such a great job at giving perfect slices for my rice, it was heavenly. And to repeat myself, it was so great not to have the smell on my hands or the counter. It cleans up easily to, even better.

If I carried a bigger purse, I would have taken this little jewel home with me!! I'd give this 10 stars,but am limited to a mere 5.

Garlic Lovers Will Love This
Alright everyone I am a garlic nut. I have every garlic gadget you can think of. I have machines that peel them, plastic peelers, special presses and choppers. You name it I own it and I have to say this one is at the top of my list. For those of you who love to make Chinese this machine slices your garlic perfectly for stir fry's, saute's and anything you want to cook and have a strong but perfectly cooked sliced garlic. Other than when I am cooking stews, and chili's I now only used sliced garlic. I have used this for garlic bread, pasta's, stir fry's, raclette cooking you name it! The best part is you can just rinse it clean and you don't have to get garlic all over your hands. I highly recommend this gadget for anyone who has a love for Garlic, Cooking and Kitchen Gadgets.

Does more than garlic!
I love this little gadget -- it does lots of tricks, like slicing fresh ginger into nearly transparent slivers, neatly and quickly. The only drawback at all is the cleaning up, and I cheated, putting into the dishwasher, where it came out just fine. ... Read more

Everybody loves the flavor of garlic--except, perhaps, in the morning'smilk or orange juice. Bodum's nifty plastic container stores either fresh orcooked garlic without transmitting odors to the rest of your refrigerator orkitchen.

What is the point
Although it may seem ike a good idea, you need not, nor really should, store garlic in the refidge or inside a plastic or glass dome. I have not used this gadget, but looking at it I assume moisture would build inside of the dome, BAD for the garlic. I keep mine in a little paper bag in a bowl on the counter. I use a paper bag only because my bird is quite fond of nibbling on things, and she seems quite fond of garlic. I must agree with the first review of this item, it is unnecessary and possibly a bad idea.

Unnecessary and possibly a bad idea
Although it will not hurt garlic to store it in the refrigerator, there is no need to do so. Any reasonably cool (room temperature) place will do. Furthermore, garlic is best stored where air can circulate around it. Moisture can build up in a container like the Bodum Garlic Dome, promoting the growth of mold. Experts recommend a basket, possibly in a drawer. We just keep ours on a small plate on the kitchen counter, where it seems to keep fine. ... Read more

Life at the office can be aggravating enough without discovering that your cup of coffee has gone cold. Bodum’s convenient warming plate with a 6-foot cord maintains the perfect drinking temperature for coffee, tea, or soup in any glass, ceramic, or china cup or bowl. And, it also holds a small teapot, keeping the contents warm without further brewing. A thoughtful touch for a guest bedroom or home office, the 5-inch round plate looks stylish and features an on/off switch with an indicator light. When unplugged, the plate easily wipes clean with a damp cloth. The warming plate is not intended for use with Styrofoam or plastic cups, and does not heat up cold drinks. --Ann Bieri ... Read more

Coffee connoisseurs know that even with excellent coffee beans,the perfect water, and a high-quality brewing machine, coffee stillwill not be good without the right grind. Bodum's Antigua grinderproduces a superior grind by using a sharp, hand-forged, conicalstainless-steel blade so that the coffee is cut rather than crushed. Aninlet cover over the blade makes it easy to grind oily beans. Inaddition, the two-step grinding gear has a powerful motor so that therotation is quiet and occurs at low speeds. This keeps the beans fromoverheating, thereby retaining the coffee's flavor and aroma.

Measuring 8 by 10-1/2 inches, the Antigua is designed to be a smallerversion of professional burr grinders for in-home use, occupying onlyas much counter space as a traditional 10-cup coffeemaker. Although theunit is compact, the bean container can hold up to 1/2 pound of coffeebeans at a time. An airtight lid fits on the bean container and keepsbeans from losing their aroma. Three grinding settings let drinkerschoose their grind: fine for espresso, medium for filter coffeemachines, or coarse for French press coffeemakers (or anywhere inbetween settings if an intermediate-level grind is desired). Thetimer/quantity control sets the number of minutes the beans will begrind, based on how many cups of coffee are being brewed, what type ofbeans are being used, and what the level of grind is. Both the beancontainer and the ground coffee container are transparent to monitorthe grinding process, and the ground coffee container easily pulls outof the grinder for use.

An automatic power cut-out feature prevents permanent damage to thegrinder by turning off the grinding gear in the event that a stonefinds its way into the Antigua. The grinding gear also can bedisassembled for cleaning. The Antigua comes with adequate power cordstorage beneath the unit for excess cord length and a .25-ounce coffeescoop. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

Great Idea, Bad Design
This grinder did make a great cup of coffee BUT only worked for 5 months. It had the "Spin Free" sickness. The motor ran but nothing else happened. I mailed it back to the factory store in NY City ($12.00 in shipping) only to find out that they didn't have any crome models in stock and would not for several months.
They refunded [the cost of the grinder] very cheerfully but no mention about any shipping charges ($27.00 total, $15.00 Express shipping from Amazon and $12.00 to NY). I'm not a happy camper. I would not buy this product again.

Buyer beware!!!
This was my second coffee grinder and I found it to be very nearly worthless. My first machine ran for six years so my review of this machine isn't from inexperience or abusing the machine.

First of all, the espresso grind was not fine enough. The higher settings quickly went into an impractically course grind which left about two useful settings for drip or french press only.

You twist the entire top of the machine to change grinds. There's a little brush imprinted on the dial that should indicate to move the dial to this position to clean the machine, however moving the selector to that position does nothing. In order to clean the machine twist the top to move the selector to the OPPOSITE end of the scale from the cleaning indicator. Go figure.

When you grind coffee some of the grounds get behind the holder which have to be picked out before the holder can be reinserted.

The bean holder wobbles like it was designed for some other machine and stuck on this one because it 'almost' fit.

The timer knob stripped and fell off when I was trying to shut the machine off because the timer ran too long and the ground coffee holder was overfull.

Lastly, the machine just plain quit working after about a dozen uses.

If this is as good a grinder as is available, which the price would indicate, save your money and have your coffee ground at the coffee shop! ... Read more

Good product
This is a solid piece of kitchen equipment. Just don't misplace the cleaning attachment

These beat the plastic ones any day.
I must say I am very pleased with my garlic press. I love the weight of the metal press. This one replaced a plastic model that wouldn't work well. This press can handle a large clove of garlic or two. You don't need to worry about it not going through. When one of these doesn't work well its just much easier to mince it yourself with a knife. In addition to working well it isn't too hard to clean. This price beats a very similar model that Pampered Chef puts out. I would recommend this garlic press if you are looking for one that is a bit more sturdy and that can handle your love of garlic. ... Read more
