FAQs
What kind of chocolate should I use?
You can use any type of chocolate, but semi-sweet or dark chocolate often works best. Milk chocolate is also a popular choice. Experiment to find your favorite.
Can I use this fondue set for cheese fondue?
While primarily designed for chocolate fondue, you could potentially use it for cheese fondue, but be aware that the set's capacity and design are optimized for chocolate.
How do I clean the fondue pot?
Allow the pot to cool completely. Wash by hand with warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the enamel. Dry thoroughly.
What if the chocolate seizes up?
If the chocolate seizes, add a small amount of liquid (cream, milk, or a liqueur) and stir constantly until smooth. Be careful not to add too much liquid.
Can I put this set in the dishwasher?
It's best to hand wash the fondue set to preserve the enamel and ensure its longevity. Dishwashers can be harsh and may damage the finish.

Troubleshooting
Chocolate is burning or sticking to the bottom.
Reduce the heat setting immediately. Use a wooden or silicone spatula to gently scrape the bottom. Ensure you are using the correct heat level, and stir the chocolate frequently.
Fondue isn't staying warm.
Ensure the heat source is on a low setting. Use a heat diffuser if necessary. Stir the chocolate frequently to distribute the heat evenly.
The enamel interior is scratched.
Avoid using metal utensils. If scratches are minor, they usually won't affect performance. For deeper scratches, contact Staub customer support.
