Can you use a fondue pot to melt butter?

I'm making lobster tail and snow crab legs for my husband for his birthday dinner tonight and I have a fondue pot that I've never used. I was wondering if I could use it to melt the butter for the lobster and snow crab or if it would get too hot and burn. It's a nice pot with both the metal and ceramic inserts.Can you use a fondue pot to melt butter?
You can, but keep a close eye upon it and make sure every now and then you give it a quick stir. OR you could let it melt, turn off the machine, then when it begins to coagulate, turn the machine back on again.
I don't see why not. Put it on the lowest setting and watch carefully to make sure the butter solids don't brown. It won't hurt you, but it will change the taste of the butter.Can you use a fondue pot to melt butter?
YOU COULD, BUT WHY? MELT IN MICROWAVE AND BE THROUGH WITH IT.
Watch it close. I probably wouldn't. You can go to any home store and buy those melters designed for that. Also, they arent as big and obtrusive. You don't have to worry about them if you wind up leaving the dinner table either..
try it if it works let us know. i woud say no myself butter is a little thinner then cheese and chocolate witch the pot is ment for i would say the butter would burn.but try it and see.no harm in it.
yes
