My family loves fondue. We lost three fondue pots in a house fire. We tried this one for the first time and it is the best fondue pot I have ever used. It looks like it could last forever.
The burner is a standard gel fuel burner that is super easy to use because it’s either on all the way or on low and you simply move the metal handle left or right to adjust the heat. You can either fill it with individual gel packages or else hand fill it with a bottle of gel: either option is super easy and simple to use.
Some people have complained that the forks that come with the set are not traditional Swiss fondue forks, and while that is accurate, I actually really like these: the wooden handles feel good in your hand and the extra times on the fork make it easier to keep the bread on it while stirring.
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2021
Note that you can get this set with a red pot, blue, or the traditional black. The ceramic inner coating for all of them is a standard off-white.
The rechaud is a one-piece setup, plate, legs, and heating deck. The constituent pieces do not come apart. Be sure to check the bottom of your rechaud for burrs or rough spots. Mine had a pronounced metal burr on the bottom, detected only after it had left a 7” scratch on the kitchen table. Ouch. This quality control failure is the only reason I’m giving this product four stars instead of five.
The burner setup is easy and simple, and the adjustable burner cover affixes nicely and tightly to the bottom cup. The sliding ring on the burner cover moves easily, making it easy to adjust the flame. And the cover puts the flame out very quickly.
The pot is a nice and heavy cast iron, and the handle becomes warm but remains cool enough to handle during and after use. The pot heats quickly and evenly, and in my uses has not burned the pot contents. The ceramic coating in the pot allows it to be cleaned very easily. This was always the worst part of making fondue, the unholy cleanup. Not so with this set, as it cleans very easily and completely, with no scraping of burned-on gunk and minimal scrubbing.
Documentation: You get a nicely done user’s manual, in English, French, and Spanish. It only provides two pages of information, though. The manual comes with clear annotated photos and instructions. It provides ample contact info, with US, Swiss, and Canadian addresses, as well as a URL and an email address. There is an additional care/use/washing card, and on the reverse is a single recipe for traditional, Swiss-style cheese fondue.
Price: At approximately $100, this is not a cheap set. There are numerous sets cheaper than this. But the reason I purchased this set is that it is almost identical to the set I remember on the table in the restaurant in Gruyere, Switzerland when I had Swiss cheese fondue for the first time, a good 40 years ago. This is the real deal, authentic, right down to the traditional wrought-iron stylings of the rechaud. This set will last a long time. I believe this is a fair price for this set.
Bottom line: If you want fondue from a traditional set, this is the one. It’s big, sturdy, and will last forever.
