All Clad Fondue

Review Of The All-Clad Stainless Fondue Pot

The All-Clad fondue set is perfect for an evening of entertaining. Serve cheese or chocolate fondue, or allow your guests to cook strips of meat in hot oil or broth using this heavy gauge stainless steel fondue pot.

The highly polished exterior looks great in any setting, and it is easy to use and to clean. The six fondue forks are color-coded, so there is no problem with someone grabbing the wrong one.

Setting up the fondue pot is easy. Set up the stand on a surface that is fire-resistant. Add the sterno can and light it to keep the sauce or oil hot.

Positive Features

The All-Clad fondue pot is made of high quality 18/10 stainless steel. This makes an excellent heat conductor for warming your cheese, melting your chocolate or cooking food in oil or broth. The lid fits securely, and the six forks have their own slots for easy storage. The forks are conveniently color-coded so guests do not mistakenly grab someone else's fork. Long handles on the forks keep fingers a safe distance from the hot fondue pot. The handles are securely riveted to the fondue pot, providing stable lifting.

Clean up is easy, since the pot is dishwasher safe. All-Clad's lifetime warranty takes care of any defects in the product. If you have any of All-Clad's other pieces of cookware, this fondue pot will fit right in. The pot is made just like the rest of All-Clad's pieces, encapsulating a 5 mm aluminum disk between two layers of stainless steel. This pot is so easy to use you'll find yourself using it frequently for both meals and desserts. Fondue will become a habit, not a fad.

Considerations

The All-Clad fondue pot is a bit pricey for many people. For an item that has limited uses, it is a bit heavy on the pocketbook. While the sterno is not included with the set, it is difficult to find out what size to get until after you buy the fondue set.
