Chosing the Right Fondue Ceramic Ware and Fondue Sets

Like choosing tools for other endeavours, picking the right fondue ceramic ware or fondue sets for Fondue parties is essential to one's success!

For instance: Are all cheese fondue pots/sets created equal? Do I use ceramic fondue ware or metal; traditional or electric? These and other considerations are essential when planning on hosting Fondue parties.

This lens, as one of two secondary lenses to my main fondue lens, discusses the various aspects of chosing the right fondue ceramic and fondue sets for the occasion.



 

As said, Don't miss the other 2 lenses in this 3 part set!

How to Shop for the Right Fondue Sets

Cheese Fondue Pots

Cheese Fondue Recipes are best served in unglazed Cheese Fondue Sets. You definetely want an unglazed Cheese Fondue Pot as, similar to cast iron cookware, continued use will "season" the pot, as flavors are being absorbed by the unglazed ceramic!

Never wash this a cheese fondue pot with dishwashing detergent of any kind, as that would neutralize the seasoning of the pot! Soak the pot in warm water, if needed, rinse and wipe dry with a paper towel.

Recommended:
This traditional, unglazed, ceramic cheese fondue pot/set includes an 8.75 inch red pot, a black rechaud, six cheese fondue forks and a stainless dual function burner.

For use with Chocolate and other dessert fondue recipes

Dessert Fondue Recipes, in general, are best prepared in glazed ceramic fondue sets. Designed for low heat, these pots utilize a candle, such as a tea light, as their heat source to prevent overheating the chocolate. An adjustable standard fondue heat source can be used, alternatively.

It is highly recommended to use glazed ceramic a fondue sets, as the ceramic material disperses heat more evenly than a metal pot.

Recommended:

This glazed ceramic set, which is shaped like a Hershey's kiss and fueled by tea lights. It's also perfectly sized for an intimate setting.

To really impress, go for the chocolate fondue fountain!

Fondue Forks

Fondue Forks are an essential component of all Fondue sets. I prefer metal ones with wooden or plastic handles. Colored tips are great, so everyone can keep track of their food.
A fondue fork ring to fit on the rim of your fondue pot is also a nice option, as it keeps the forks from sliding around.
