Review on Premium Twine Acacia Wood Handled Cheese Grater: Stainless Steel Grater, Citrus Zester, Reinforced Base - Vintage Kitchenware at its Finest by Sandra Reyes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lucky Buy: Kitchen & Dining

It is durable and very attractive. I used it for cheese fondue and it worked well. My guests thought it was beautiful. The "chrome gel burner" is cheaply made, as are the forks, especially compared to the forks on my original 1971 fondue pot. The description says the pot comes with a "rubber wood base," which actually is only wood. I don't understand how the rubber is supposed to work. The main downside is that the sturdy cast iron base gets very hot, as I found when I covered the Sterno jar that I was heating the cheese in. Keep your hands away from the base and always use a wooden base board otherwise the countertop will feel warm to the touch. The base of my retro module is steel and there is enough space inside to reach the sterno can without burning yourself. For a few dollars more they could have made the forks nicer and the burner more durable. I will be using the pot regularly but am looking for a good set of retro forks.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
