Swissmar Lugano Cast Iron Cheese Fondue Set, 9-Piece, 2 Quart, Deep Blue

Looks just like the photo. It is heavy duty. Excited to use it real soon.

We have a stainless fondue for meats and love it. This Swissmar fondue for cheese is excellent quality. I use the pot on my stove to melt and prepare the cheese and it easily transfers to the fondue pot holder for serving. The metal base of which it sits is sturdy - no chance of it tipping over. I placed the pot and holder on a trivet to safeguard my table just in case the burner got hot - but it did not. The porcelain covered cast iron is heavy which keeps the pots heated and cheese melted. The pot is very easy to clean. I used the recipe in the box and it is plenty for four people. Other recipes are on the internet if you want something different but the Swissmar recipe is very good. HINT: If you want to use the fondue pot right away upon receipt, make sure you buy the recommended fuel cans at the same time. None come with the pot. You will not be disappointed.

Swissmar truly is the best cheese fondue pot brand. I'm Swiss so I know what real fondue pots are supposed to look like and how they're supposed to function. You need to be able to cook the fondue on the stove then transfer the pot to the fondue burner; this pot works perfectly and looks great. Swissmar also includes a fondue recipe that isn't perfect but is great for fondue beginners. A tip I definitely recommend though is to buy the fondue fuel online too, it's the blue fondue gel; it's very hard to find in the average supermarket, and the one most commonly found is the kind you have to scoop out of a can which isn't as good and a total pain in the butt. There are a few irks that I feel I must list though: 1. The pot handle looks different from the picture, it's not completely round, but shaped like a half-moon: the top is round, but the bottom is flat. 2. The fondue forks included aren't really the typical fondue forks, they're fatter and have three prongs. (They are the ones pictured, though.) Still, don't let these turn you off. This is best, most traditional Swiss cheese fondue on the market at such a reasonable price. I'm a student so I was thinking about just buying a cheap fondue pot, but I'm glad I invested in a slightly pricier model. I'll have this for years!

Great coated cast iron pot in the traditional Swiss shape, so yes, handle gets hot! This fondue pot works great for cheese and chocolate as well as versatile enough for meats or other proteins, without the need of separate pots. Easy to clean. Fondue forks aren't color coded! Easy to use for any occasion.

I love this set. High quality. Very attractive. Works great. It should come with sterno gel though. I recommend this set. Great forks.

100% real swiss cast iron cheese fondue

Good quality product.

Bought this fondue pot for Christmas appetizer, it worked great! My hubby and I went to Switzerland last year and this pot is comparable to pots used at the nice fondue restaurants there! Made of heavy cast iron. The interior is smooth and easy to clean, the exterior is rough like mentioned in a previous review, but not hard to clean in my opinion. It did not come with fire gel, so I bought a sterno and left it in its can, it worked perfectly! Would recommend if you are looking for a solid authentic fondue pot!

The size of the pot is more suitable for families rather than couples. It would look almost empty for two. I like the feel of the heavy cast iron and the cheese melted beautifully. However, I would not use it for meat fondues that require oil to be kept hot on the table. The flame burner is similar to any fondue set I have seen in the market but it really makes a difference if the proper gel is used so you just remove the cover and it fits perfectly in the burner (hassle-free). Overall I am happy with the set so far.

Très belle qualité, aussi bien pour le caquelon que pour le réchaud. C'est lourd, bien fini et solide. Le brûleur se règle sans souci : la coupelle perforée mobile n'est ni trop sertie, ni pas assez. Le brûleur est parfaitement compatible avec les coupelles de gel combustible TILL Safety Paste 80g vendu sur ce site. La fonte répartit et conserve bien la chaleur. Aucun souci pour faire fondre les fromages sur le gaz et conserver la "pâte" à la bonne consistance et à la bonne température sur le réchaud. Un ensemble non seulement parfait pour une bonne fondue mais aussi du plus bel effet sur une table.

Great traditional fondue pot. This is an open-flame type, you will need to use your own gel fuel. So far, the pot does not get any stains from the fuel nor does the coating peel off. Looks good!

Haben ihn jetzt 3 x benutzt. Macht wofür man ihn vorsieht.
