Fondue is a Swiss tradition - much like the raclette - that Swiss mar specializes in. The Swiss mar Gruyere 9 Piece Ceramic Fondue Set is great for cheese, meat and chocolate fondue, providing simple, fun and elegant entertaining for any dinner party. Fondue is a simple dish shared at the table heated over a small burner. Forks are used to dip bits of food (most often bread or staple foods such as meats, vegetables or fruit) into either delectable melted cheese, oil, broth or chocolate (for dessert). With a fondue pot, you aren't just cooking for your guests - you are cooking with your guests! It makes for a fun, memorable and delicious night with family and friends. This 9 piece set comes with 1 ceramic pot, 1 wrought iron rechaud, 1 fondue burner and 6 fondue forks.
Ceramic pot is safe for use on a cooktop, in the oven, the microwave or with any traditional fondue burners
Comes with 6 fondue forks
The Ceramic pot is easy to clean and dishwasher safe
Includes ceramic pot, fondue forks, wrought iron rechaud and an 8-hole fondue burner
Fondue pot has a 2.8 quart capacity
I looked at these fondue pots for a couple of years before finally pulling the trigger and buying one. I have had electric ones in the past & they always seemed to have the shortest electric cord possible, which makes it tricky to set up the pot to serve guests. This set completely eliminates the cord issue.I typically prep my fondue on the stove top (this set works great on a smooth glass top stove) and then move it to the stand with the fire gel to keep it warm. This set doesn't scorch your food, looks great & holds a lot of cheese! I have already recommended this item to several friends & would encourage anyone to get this version rather than an electric one5-star review, probably somewhat biased by having been to Switzerland and having fondue in pots very similar to this. That being said, this is how the Swiss do fondue. Having traveled all over Switzerland and sampling fondue from all over the country, I came across only a single place that used an electric hot plate and metallic fondue pot. The pot is heavy, but not overly so, and the handle is thick, providing a good surface to grip. The interior is coated in a nice teflon anti-stick layer, making clean-up incredibly easy. There was some burnt-on cheese from directly above where the gel fuel sits, but that is to be expected / could be impacted by how much we stirred the cheese, how much heat we gave it, etc. A quick soak in hot, soapy water took care of that.Side note: The prefabricated Swissmar fuel pods fit perfectly in the fuel tray, but I'd recommend using the gel squirt bottle. The pods are not resealable and provide enough fuel for more than a single sitting, so you can either toss the remainder of the fuel or put the open pod in a ziploc bag and be careful with it. Or make enough fondue to last several hours of people picking at it.Beautiful presentation. Very much a standard classic type fondue set. Easy to use. Spot right above burner can over cook and it’s harder to regulate temp than an electric. If you’re looking for something you can take and/or use anywhere at parties this is great. Those more concerned about consist heat who don’t want to babysit their fondue may be better off going electric.The description failed to mention that the base was not completely painted. Found a reviewer who called it "distressed", which is way too kind. Fortunately, I had a can of black spray paid in the garage. Pot is beautiful, in comparison.This is a very nice cheese fondue pot but the burner sucks. The Spring Switzerland burners have dampening material in the burner so that inexpensive, easy to find denatured alcohol can be used without sloshing around. This burner makes using denatured alcohol messy. Of course Swissmar sells silly expensive jelled fuel for their burner. Knocked off 2 stars because of the burner. Otherwise the pot get 5 stars.Bought to make fondue on Valentines Day. Didn't realize fuel is sold separate so had to buy sterno firestarter fuel last minute. Not sure if that fuel burns hotter but noticed that even when the flame was adjusted to lowest setting, the chocolate burned a bit at the bottom. Nevertheless, the fondue set looks great and mostly worked great. I hope with the correct fuel the burning issue will be resolved. Would recommend.I'm delighted with this fondue set, but was surprised by the amount of distressing on the metal base. The overall impression of the set is still fine. Most importantly, I love how well it works. I heated the cheese mixture on my glass top stove to melt it and then transferred the mixture to the fondue pot to serve and keep it warm. I bought a large supply of fuel since I intend to use the set often.I got this for Christmas because we planned to have cheese and beef fondue for our big dinner. It is very pretty; love the drawing on each side. I made the fondue on the stove and poured it into the dish. Be sure to order the gel to cook with because Amazon is the only source. It doesn't take much so one bottle will last for several dinners.Looked fantastic, accessories great, pan weighty. Would loved to have kept it, however, a small chip in the outer rim spoiled it. Sadly, no replacement available. I would purchase another if it were possible.Bought this to replicate cheese fondue me and my dad first had in Switzerland.This is such a beautiful piece. It’s heavy, good quality. Has a gorgeous design. Even heat distribution. We made a cheese fondue and it was perfect. Goes into the stove top just fine to get started.We have used it for chocolate fondues as well and it hasn’t disappointed.I highly recommend.I was so excited to receive this as a christmas present as I've had my eye on it for a while. It did not disappoint! Sturdy, classy, pretty bowl. I made cheese fondue, started it on the stove for ease and transferred to the base to keep warm for the length of the meal. love the large capacity and how sturdy this is. And the forks worked great. Even my husband loves it. A must have.Update: I have used this for a meat broth fondue and I still love it!Pour la fondue suisse au fromage, c'est merveilleux. Excellent achat et très bon service de livraison. Super!I love this unit, the size is generous and the quality of materials is as one would expect. These things eventually become family heirlooms so you need something that lasts the distance.The only "negative" remark I can make is that I have previously purchased these Fondue sets, and they came with ceramic plates - this unit does not.
