The Best Fondue Sets of 2024

With a 3-quart capacity (12 cups) for melted cheese, melted chocolate, or any other type of fondue you can find, the Cuisinart CFO-3SS is a great pick for any entertainer. It has a nonstick interior, which makes it easy to clean, but what’s even better is that it’s dishwasher safe. The adjustable temperature probe has eight settings, so you can get just the right melting temperature to avoid burning your precious melty goodness. And reviews mention that this electric fondue maker heats up super fast.

The included instruction manual and recipe booklet keeps things user-friendly. In addition, this electric fondue pot also comes with a base, bowl, eight fondue forks, and a fork rack—not to mention the limited three-year warranty. All the pieces in this fondue set are BPA free.

The smaller Nostalgia FPS200 electric fondue set gives off a retro feel, perfect for a fun fondue night with friends. The 38-inch cord is said to be a bit short for some, but the blue-lit temperature control dial makes it easy to see where your settings are. Reviews suggest keeping a close eye on the heat while you’re using it.

This fondue set features a cool-touch handle, so you won’t have to worry about little ones getting burnt, and six color-coded forks that sit in notches along the rim make it easy to decipher which fork belongs to you. All parts of this fondue set are detachable and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning in no time.

Capacity for this fondue set is 1.5 quarts, or 6 cups, and “like Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” this pot is said to be “just right for a family of four.” While this set is easy to use and pack up, one review mentioned that the steel rim on their fondue pot was extremely sharp, so take care not to cut yourself when washing it.

The Dash Deluxe Stainless Steel Fondue Maker comes in your choice of gray or aqua and holds up to three quarts in its nonstick interior. The PFOA-free nonstick coating included in the removable bowl makes cleaning up easy, so you won’t dread the end of your fondue parties, and the included recipe guide makes it even less daunting to host your favorite people for a dinner party.

Included with the Dash Deluxe are eight color-coded fondue forks, a fork rack to reduce dropping your fork into the pot, and a metal ring to hold all of your dipping necessities for easy snack access, though some reviewers mention that the included cups are a bit small.

Reviews also mention that the heat source gets very hot and that it’s a little too easy to burn yourself if you aren’t careful, so you’ll want to keep an eye on kids when using it. Some people end up buying multiples of this fondue set to give as gifts, and many reviewers praise the included fondue recipes.

On the more expensive side, the Swissmar Lugano cast iron fondue set features a simple design and comes in colors like cherry red, black, and deep blue. The cast iron fondue pot has an enameled interior, so there won’t be any issues with cheese or chocolate sticking to the sides. It sits upon a wrought iron réchaud with a base tray.

Six fondue forks with sturdy faux-wood handles give this fondue set a classic look, and the pot itself holds up to two quarts of your favorite cheese or chocolate. And, because the pot is cast iron, it provides even heat distribution without any pesky hot spots.

People who use this fondue set like that you can start it off on the stove, and while fuel isn’t supplied with purchase, it’s easy to acquire and set up yourself. One suggested pro tip for this fondue set is to check the bottom of the réchaud for burrs or rough spots to avoid scratching surfaces, as some people have encountered this problem.

While the handles on this fondue set do get warm, they still stay cool enough that you’ll be able to handle it during and after use, so burns are a non-issue. And the sliding ring on the burner cover moves easily, making it a breeze to adjust or put out the flame with the cover.

This enameled cast iron fondue set from Kitchencraft includes a versatile burner that uses either gel fuel or methylated spirits in order to melt your favorite cheese. The cast iron bowl easily retains heat, so you can spend plenty of time entertaining and less time worrying about getting that perfect melting temp.

Included with the set are six color-coded forks that will make it easy to differentiate which utensil belongs to each of your guests, and a five-year guarantee means you won’t have to worry about the set wearing out quickly.

People say that this set is easy to carry, so you shouldn’t have any unnecessary anxiety about transporting hot cheese or chocolate fondue. The only real issue people seem to have with this fondue set is that the fuel source is just “okay,” and therefore it might not get hot enough for heating oil or broth to cook meat.
