Know before you buy
This pot is highly versatile and suitable for cheese, chocolate, traditional hot pot, and meat-based fondues. The enameled cast iron interior ensures even heat distribution for all these applications.
The set includes a paste burner designed to be used with sterno fuel. This provides a consistent, adjustable flame to keep your cheese or oil at the ideal temperature throughout your meal.
No, the enameled surface is designed to be scratch-resistant and non-stick, making it much easier to clean than raw cast iron. Simply wash it with warm, soapy water after the pot has cooled down.
The splash ring is specifically designed for meat fondue. It sits on the rim of the pot to prevent hot oil from splattering onto your table or guests while you cook.
Yes, because the pot is made of durable cast iron, you can safely use it on your stovetop to prepare your fondue base before moving it to the wire stand and burner for serving.
