The right oil makes all the difference in a meat fondue or an oriental fondue. But: which oil is best suited for a fondue pot ?

  • Grape seed oil – high smoke temperature and neutral taste
  • Sunflower oil (highly heatable) – cheap and widely applicable
  • Rice oil – popular in oriental cuisine
  • Never use butter or olive oil because of burning

Please note: use an electric fondue pot or one with a sturdy rechaud for a constant temperature.

Maintenance and use of a fondue pot

Cleaning a fondue pot is easier than you think:

  • Let the pan cool completely first
  • Remove residues with warm water and a soft sponge
  • Avoid aggressive cleaning agents
  • For cast iron fondue pans : dry well and grease lightly.
  • Accessories such as forks and nets are usually dishwasher safe

A good fondue starts with a well-prepared pot. Store your set in a dry place and regularly check that the burner or heating element is still working properly.
