Know before you buy
Yes, the thick copper construction provides excellent heat control, making it versatile enough for all three types of fondue. The non-reactive tin lining ensures that delicate ingredients like chocolate or cheese do not pick up metallic flavors.
You should prepare your fondue on the stovetop first to reach the desired consistency. Once ready, transfer the pot to the included brass stand and use a standard Sterno fuel canister to maintain the temperature at the table.
Because the exterior is polished copper, it will naturally develop a patina over time if left untreated. To maintain its original high-gloss shine, you can use a copper cleaner periodically, though many owners prefer the character of a lived-in finish.
No, this set must be hand washed. Avoid harsh scrubbers or abrasive cleaners to protect the tin lining and the polished copper exterior.
With a 3.4-quart capacity and six included forks, this set is perfectly sized for intimate gatherings of four to six people.
Copper is an exceptional heat conductor, which prevents hot spots and ensures your fondue stays at a consistent temperature. The tin lining is a traditional, non-reactive surface that is safe for all food types and easy to clean.
