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. Swissmar's Sierra 11 piece 3-1 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. Crafted of enameled cast iron, the wide, straight-sided pot holds a generous 1. 6 quarts of liquid and can be preheated on a stove top 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 between 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 safe, cool handling, there are two large handles as well as a removable splatter guard that fits snugly on the pot with slots for the six forks. Diners choose a color 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! ). For multipurpose usage, simply remove the splatter guard and lower the heat to melt cheese or chocolate, or use the pot as a warmer for appetizers, buffet items, chili, or soup. Available in an array of bright colors including red, blue, white, and orange, this fondue set has a cheerful presence that suits its inviting, communal purpose. Assembled, the set measures 8-1/4 inches high by 8 inches in diameter, and wide handles assist in transporting the 6-3/4-inch pot. Easy recipes are included to get the party started. Can be used on all heat sources - easy to clean. Capacity 1. 6L/1. 6Qt. Gift boxed.
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
It takes a LONG time to use those oil can things under neath. You preheat this on the hob and then put it over those oil can but they only keep the oil warm. It took a long time to cook things but it did work eventually.
Anyone can make mistake and it’s the way it’s handled that makes the difference well their service was impeccable as they resent me the accurate piece without me having to bother sending back the wrong color one I had received. 5 stars service and a very happy client. I definitely recommend.
Ordered this particular model as I loved the look. Yet I received a dark cherry wood base. I have contacted the seller and still no reply. It is an inconvenience to have to send back a big product like this.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Wrong product received yet great customer service
