Cuisinart CFO-3SS Electric Fondue Maker

Cuisinart CFO-3SS Electric Fondue Maker
The fun of fondue gets a sleek and convenient makeover with this Cuisinart electric fondue maker. Designed for use with oil, broth, chocolate, or cheese, the set combines powerful electric heat with easy temperature control and handsome but tidy construction. The 3-quart stainless-steel bowl is lined with nonstick coating for keeping heated foods from sticking, and the stand, bowl, ring, and temperature probe all assemble and disassemble easily. A combination of finishes--brushed on the bowl and ring, mirror on the stand and handlesgives the unit a contemporary flair. Heat up is efficient here--getting oil to 375 degrees F takes between 10 and 15 minutes. Best of all, you can change the temperature setting with a simple turn of the dial to adjust for different ingredients or the passage of time. For clean up, run the entire set (temperature probe and cord removed, of course) through the dishwasher. A set of eight color-coded fondue forks is also included. Fully assembled, the fondue maker stands 6-1/4 inches high; the bowl is 8-1/4 inches in diameter at the opening. --Emily Bedard

Trudeau 7-Piece Chocolate Fondue Set

Trudeau 7-Piece Chocolate Fondue Set
Though it seems to go in and out style, fondue has actually exhibited staying power since its American heyday in the cocktail-party decades of the '60s and '70s. Fondue is simple to make, and it's social, making it an attractive option for small, simple gatherings. Trudeau's 7-piece chocolate fondue set is a basic starter kit; it's small enough for apartment settings, and its basic black-and-white look can fit in with just about any kitchen or dining scheme. (Trudeau also offers similar sets specifically for cheese and meat fondues.) A chocolate fondue is traditionally served with cubes of pound cake and sliced or whole fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, or strawberries. The white stoneware bowl has a broad, scalloped rim; besides being a decorative touch, the concavities in the scalloping offer convenient places to scrape excess chocolate from dipped pieces of cake or fruit. Each stainless steel fondue fork has a black-and-white plastic handle to shield hands from heat. The heavy-duty black wire stand has four sturdy feet ending in ball finials with no sharp, scratchy edges. The stoneware bowl and fondue forks are dishwasher safe; the bowl is also safe for use in the microwave. This 7-piece set from Trudeau comes with a basic chocolate fondue recipe. The 2-1/2-cup bowl and metal stand both measure 6 inches in diameter; the bowl is 2-1/2 inches tall, and the stand is 4 inches tall. Each fondue fork is 7-1/4 inches long. Only one tea candle for melting chocolate is provided; replacements are widely available. Trudeau guarantees this product with a five-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. --Garland Withers

Black Enameled Fondue Set with Lazy Susan (22-pc.)

Black Enameled Fondue Set with Lazy Susan (22-pc.)
Want to throw an amazing fondue party? This is the set to do it with. Among the superdeluxe of fondue sets, the package comes complete with a black, matte-finish fondue pot, a jazzily designed chrome-plated wire rack, a convertible burner for either liquid or paste fuel, six color-coded forks, six small ladle-style spoons, six matching black stoneware bowls, and a wooden lazy Susan that swivels in a full circle on ball bearings. The rotating carousel and the pot's wooden handle make it easy for guests to take turns from across a table. The pot's steel core gives it great heating qualities, and the enamel coating doesn't transfer flavors--and cleanup is easy. Everything you need to make bourguignonne and Chinese fondues is right here, and if you don't have a fondue cookbook on hand, a mini fondue cookbook is included with the set. The fondue pot and bowls are dishwasher-safe, but you'll want to protect the wooden utensil handles and carousel by hand washing. The burner is a bit tricky to adjust, so be sure to pay attention when doing so. This set will make a big impression on your fondue guests. Fuel not included. --Matthew Anderson

Roshco 16-Piece Stainless Steel Lazy Susan Fondue Set
This set kicks up the festive nature of fondue entertaining by adding a lazy Susan to the fun. The set comprises a 17-1/2-inch-diameter lazy Susan tray and its stand, both chrome-plated; six black, ceramic, 4-ounce ramekins for condiments and dipping sauces that fit into holes in the tray; a stainless-steel fondue pot in two finishes (mirror and satin) and its stand, which is also chrome plated; and a stainless-steel splash guard, which holds in place six stainless-steel, color-coded fondue forks. The fondue pot is safe for every kind of fondue: oil, broth, cheese, and chocolate, though they must first be heated in a separate pan. The lazy Susan tray is optional since the pot and its stand can be set up without the tray. Fully assembled, the fondue set and lazy Susan measure 10 inches high. Included in the set is a burner, which uses gel fuel only. --Fred Brack

This delightful fondue set is a romantic piece that will warm up any kitchen. It also makes a wonderful wedding, housewarming, or holiday gift.

Next, skewer marshmallows (a box of midsized marshmallows comes with the set), strawberries, bananas, or whatever is desired on the two included metal fondue forks and start dipping. To help get the party started, the set comes with a tin of gourmet milk chocolate, a tin of strawberry-flavored chocolate, and a box of premium chocolate.--A.J. Rathbun
