Fondue Pots Oct 22nd 2011, 10:07 What type of fondue pot should you buy? It all depends on what types of fondue you want to make. But whether your taste runs to Swiss cheese melted in wine, decadent melted chocolate with fruit dippers or nourishing Mongolian Hot Pot, nothing beats the experience of dipping into a communal fondue pot for entertaining guests or livening up a family meal. Here are my top choices for fondue pots: 1. Trudeau Electric 3 in 1 Fondue Pot For someone who wants to prepare a variety of fondues, this set from Trudeau is a good choice. The stainless steel fondue pot can be used for broth and oil-based fondues, such as Asian Hot Pot and French Beef Bourguignonne. The ceramic double boiler is good for cheese and chocolate. The set comes with recipes and 6 dipping forks. Handwash only. 2. Emile Henry Ceramic Cheese Fondue Set Ceramic fondue pots are a good choice for both cheese (and chocolate) fondues; however, normally you need to heat the cheese in a separate pot on the stove and then move it over to the fondue pot for serving. This ceramic pot is designed to be stovetop safe, so that you can heat the cheese directly in the pot and then bring it over to the table. The pot has a 2.6 quart capacity and is both dishwasher and microwave safe. 3. Westbend Electric Fondue Pot This is an excellent choice if you plan to prepare broth or oil- based fondues (such as Asian hotpot or French Beef Bourguignonne) on a regular basis. It heats up quickly, is dishwasher safe (the thermostat is removable), and its roominess can easily accommodate up to eight fondue dipping forks. 4. Chantal Fun Fondue Pot When it comes to creating a romantic atmosphere, nothing beats melted chocolate served over an open flame, with lush fresh fruit for dipping. This sturdy ceramic dessert fondue pot comes in a number of different colors, including a chocolate exterior with a pretty pink interior. A round flat candle called a "tea light" is used to keep the chocolate warm without burning it. The set comes with four fondue forks. 5. Aluminum Hotpot Of course, no discussion of fondue pots would be complete without a classic Asian hotpot. Made in Thailand, this lightweight aluminum dish features the classic hotpot design, with a chimney in the middle to hold the charcoal that keeps the broth warm. It is available in three sizes, ranging from eight to twelve inches.
