Will this pot melt the oil, cheese, chocolate from the underneath burner or is this the kind that you have to heat/melt on the stove top first, thanks!

We have always melted on the stove top first, then use the flame below the set to keep the mixture warm.

Works best to melt over even heat (stove) then use sterno. However, sterno will suffice, just keep stirring!

I have only made cheese fondue and melted cheese on stove top prior to that. Never tried to make it on the burner.

You have to start on the stove, but even at the lowest setting, the fuel burner below can burn the center of the base of the cheese fondue. I have never tried heating oil or chocolate with the fuel burner alone.

I assume it could, but I would always recommend hearing on the stove first. The nice part is that you can use the cast iron with any stove, including induction.

You do not have to heat oil, chocolate or cheese on the stove, the burner will do it easily. In fact, after reaching your desired temperature you will have to turn it down as it gets very hot.

I may be warm but not hot to touch if used stove top. In the oven yes it will be hot but cool quickly when removed.

They asked if you can use it IN a gas stove. Yes you can there is no plastic on it so nothing to melt. It is a very heavy pot when full so make sure your oven racks are up to the task.

No i would not try chocolate or cheese in this pot. The metal is thin compared to what you would traditionally use for cheese and chocolate(a thick ceramic pot) for good distribution of heat and long warming time so you do not burn your cheese or chocolate. I would stick to broths and meat when it comes to metal pots.

Works fine on a glass top stove (which is what I have). The instructions included with the pot say just don't shake or move around the pot while cooking (for any stove kind, not just glass), and also not to preheat the burner before cooking like another person suggested. You're supposed to start with a cold burner, put the oil/popcorn seeds in, put the pot on the burner/turn burner on, and slowly turn the handle from start to finish. Takes about 2-3 minutes, is fun, and super easy to wipe clean after the pot cools.

In my experience no. I have used in two different crock pots and one has a tendency to run hot and even with that I have not had any melting. They are a little thicker than the Reynolds brand and I think that helps. When I have cooked on high setting it has usually been 5-6 hours and then turned to warm.

If it is chocolate only, it needs to be floated on water in a double boil. This is difficult with an electric fondue pot. Add milk or cream to the chocolate while melting.

Can you describe in more detail what you mean by "burned?" The pot is titanium so it has a very high melting point. If you cook over a dirty flame it will get black like anything.

I wish I could help you .I have a gas stove top.I love this diffuser.I use it for my corning ware coffee pot and when I make sauce so it doesn't burn. Best answer I can give is Google the question.Sorry.

Yes and no. I bought the Touch Up that was supposed to be for high heat. I used it to cover some scratches on my cooktop and it looked like new. But the first time I used the burner, the part I had touched up turned brown and basically ruined the top of the cooktop in terms of appearance. Whatever high heat the Porcelain Touch Up is supposed to endure, using the burner is hotter than what it's made for. I would not use it on your stove top. It was fine on my dryer where it got scratched, and which obviously does not get hot.

I don't use a microwave oven to melt chocolate it is to easy to burn the chocolateI use the Wilton Chocolate Pro Electric Melting Pot that is available on Amazon

The short answer is I don't know, partly because I don't know what a fire pot is. That being said, it seems to be a simple slow burning gel and I think would burn OK in any container that wouldn't melt. I think the container with mine is about the size of 1/3 to 1/2 cup and I had a lot of the gel leftover after completing the fondue (which needed to be removed). Hope this helps.

I do not know what the backdrop is for your question, however if you do not have enough liquid, oil, butter or fat in the pot - food will burn. To answer your question I have never had food burn before as I always had enough liquid or fat in this pot.

I use mine on the stovetop of my induction range to start the process(frying of meat and veggies). Mine is slightly larger than my biggest burner, but still works well. I finish the Paella in the oven.

It is a bit small for that, and I would hesitate to heat any quantity of oil on a stovetop. Oil would expand, creep out the spout and give you a nasty little fire.

I just followed the instructions that it came with and placed a coating of vegetable oil on the pan and then heated the pan on the stove top until it started to smoke, wipe it with some paper towels, and this forms a non stick coating on the pan but you always have to coat the pan with melted butter before pouring some more batter on it

If your oven temperature exceeds 375 degrees for more than 30 minutes the possibility of melting increases. I've done it and it is now partially stuck to my stove. Not sure why it isn't designed to withstand what could be considered an average oven temperature. Plastic will only withstand so much heat so it may be wise to see if there are non plastic ones availabie. So, yes, it will melt.
