Contemporary styled cast iron meat fondue set includes orange pot, spatter guard, rechaud with wood base, six meat fondue forks and fondue burner. Best suited for meat fondues but can be used for cheese or chocolate fondues just remove the spatter ring. Having graduated well beyond the 1960s culinary craze, fondue cooking remains a creative way to gather friends at the table for a deliciously entertaining experience. Swissmar's Sierra 11-piece meat fondue set specializes in heating oil or broth to an even, consistent temperature for dipping bite-sized dinner treats such as beef, chicken, seafood or pork. Crafted of enameled cast iron, the wide, straight-sided pot holds a generous 1.6 qt of liquid and can be pre-heated on a stovetop or warmed directly over the fondue flame. Cast iron is an ideal choice for meat cooking, as it works well at both low and high temperatures and though it takes a few minutes to heat up, provides excellent heat distribution and retention. The matching rechaud stands on three sturdy legs with high-arches between to easily access the paste or gel fuel burner. Below, a handsome light wood base is carved with a groove to securely hold the entire fondue set while protecting tabletops from heat and drips. When the liquid inside is bubbling nicely, it's time to dig in. For safe, cool handling, there are two large handles as well as a removable splatter guard that fits snugly on the pot with slots for the six forks. Diners choose a color on the tip of each fork so it's easy to identify and store even when there's much dipping and stirring, not to mention talking and laughing. For multi-purpose usage, simply remove the splatter guard and lower the heat to melt cheese or use the pot as a warmer for appetizers, buffet items, chili or soup. This fondue set has a cheerful presence that suits its inviting, communal purpose.
