Know before you buy
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric stoves.
This product is the fondue pot itself. It does not include fondue forks or a dedicated tea light base, so you will need to provide your own dipping utensils and a heat source if you plan to keep the chocolate warm for an extended period.
No, the interior features a matte black enamel finish. While it is not non-stick, it is designed for excellent heat retention and is highly durable, making it ideal for melting chocolate evenly.
Yes, the set is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is often recommended for enameled cast iron to maintain the vibrancy of the exterior finish over time.
With a 0.25-quart capacity, this set is perfectly sized for an intimate dessert for two people or a small individual serving.
