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.
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. Crafted of enamelled cast iron, the wide, straight-sided pot holds a generous 1.6 litres of liquid and can be preheated 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 to easily access the paste/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 multipurpose usage, simply remove the splatter guard and lower the heat to melt cheese, or use the pot as a warmer for appetizers, buffet items, chilli, or soup. Diners choose a colour 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!).
This fondue set has a cheerful presence that suits its inviting, communal purpose.
Assembled, the set measures 20 cm high by 20 inches in diameter, and wide handles assist in transporting the 17cm pot.
