Fondue sets are cooking and serving sets used to melt or heat food and then eat it directly at the table. They usually consist of a pan, a heat source (such as a burner or electric heating element), and forks for dipping food.
They are used for different types of fondue, such as cheese fondue, chocolate fondue or meat fondue in oil or stock. The temperature remains constant so that the mixture remains liquid and the food is cooked or coated evenly.
Fondue sets are popular for cozy dinners and group meals, where everyone dips and prepares ingredients in the warm sauce or liquid.
