When you are looking for a good fondue pot, what you must first do is decide on what the pot will be used for. You get different fondue pots
When it comes to the cheese pots, these are normally made from enameled cast-iron, ceramic, or earthenware. These are great to use because these certain types of materials give off heat very well. This is a very important factor, as most desserts and puddings need exact temperatures in order to be made properly. Chocolate fondue is a good example, as the temperature needs to be just right if you want to make this dessert the correct way. If you have a fondue pot made of one of these materials, know that you should never put it in a heated element as the pot is sure to crack. If the fondue pot you want needs to be placed on the stove top for some reason, you will want to go for the cast iron pot as these can be heated on the stove elements.
When it comes to the hot oil fondues, these should always be served in nothing but metal pots. Most of these pots are made in copper, stainless steel or cast iron. These materials are used because they can withstand high temperatures of heat. These temperatures are needed to keep the oil hot so that you can make your lovely dishes. They are also able to fully absorb and keep the heat and not diffuse it like some other pots do.
There are some fondue sets that come with both a metal pot and a ceramic one so you can just change the pot when you feel like making something else. It also allows you to simmer water in the metal pot while you have the ceramic pot inside of it. This setup is great for those fondues that take a lot of preparation and for those that are fragile and burn easily, like those that use goat cheese and chocolate.
