Fondue is the ultimate entertaining tool, whether you choose cheese or oil, broth or chocolate fondue-guests will rave about the experience. Oil or broth can be pre-heated directly in the Swissmar real fondue set pot on the stovetop and carefully transferred to the rechaud. Convenient spatter guard prevents hot oil or broth spatters while waiting for food to cook in the pot. Spatter guard is notched to keep forks separate from each other for even cooking around the pot.
