Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What can I cook with my fondue set?

A: The most common items that people warm in fondue pots include cheese, chocolate, caramel, oil, and meat or vegetable broth. You can then choose just about anything to dip in the contents of your pot; think chocolate-dipped fruit, cheesy meats or pretzels, indoor s’mores, caramel apples, and more.

Q: Which heating element is best for fondue sets?

A: The answer to this question depends mostly on your personal preference and on what you want to warm in your set. If you are new to fondue and don’t want to spend much time watching over your dip, you may want to try an electric heating element. However, check the maximum temperature of the set you choose, since some electric elements only warm up to around 350 degrees.

If you are a fondue expert or if you want to completely control the temperature of what you cook, a fuel or stove-top fondue set may be a better choice.

No matter which fondue set you choose, it’s sure to be the talk of your next party (or even your upcoming family night in). Choose the fondue set with the features that appeal most to you, and then you can look forward to some delicious dipping in your near future.
