Can I use this fondue set on an electric stovetop?

The cast iron pot is suitable for use on various stovetops, including electric. However, it is primarily designed for use with the included burner for serving at the table.

Hand wash the cast iron pot with warm water and mild soap. Dry it thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent rust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or putting it in the dishwasher.

What is the capacity of the fondue pot?

The fondue pot has a capacity of 2 litres, which is ideal for serving up to 6 people.

Troubleshooting

Fondue is not staying warm

Ensure the burner is adequately fueled and the flame is set appropriately. Check that the pot is seated correctly on the rechaud.

Cast iron pot shows signs of rust

Rust on cast iron is usually due to insufficient drying or improper storage. Scrub away rust with steel wool, wash, dry immediately, and re-season the pot by applying a thin coat of cooking oil and heating it gently.

Fondue burner will not light

Verify that the burner is filled with the correct type of fuel (Fire Gel) and that the wick is saturated. Ensure there are no obstructions to the flame.

Fondue sticking to the pot

Ensure the fondue is heated gently and stirred regularly. For cheese fondues, avoid overheating. For meat fondues, ensure sufficient cooking oil or broth is used.
