Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have made Christmas candy for years, but have always used the good ol' double boiler method for melting my chocolate. Someone suggested using a fondue pot and while doing a little more digging, I saw they have pots just for melting chocolate. Who knew? Then I came across Wilton's Chocolate Pro Electric Melting Pot. I read all the reviews, good and bad (cheap handle, switch, didn't keep chocolate smooth and silky) but decided to go ahead and purchase it. The chocolate melted quickly and evenly. It kept it smooth and silky, easy to work with. I think the quality of your chocolate will make a difference with its texture, not the machine. I made and dipped turtles for about 3 hours and that little pot was on the whole time. It did a great job! The handle is sturdy and the switch is a slider button. I didn't have to mess with controls or buttons to keep the heat consistent. It has only a warm or melt mode... I don't need anything else. No problem for me there either. The pot itself isn't huge, which I liked. I was able to add chocolate as I went and it continued to melt it. It is a nice little machine, which in turn made it easy to use, clean and store. That's really why we never use things again, they're just too hard to ding with. It would also be a perfect thing to melt butter in. No splashing like in the microwave, just slow continuous heat. I'm sure I'll think of a few more reasons to use this little machine. This is the real deal! It worked perfectly for me! I'm glad I bought it!
