Even melting and warm serving – Thanks to cast iron construction
Cast iron construction stores and distributes heat steadily, reducing cold spots while food is melting. The heavy 5 kg base helps retain temperature during communal serving.
The cast iron body keeps fondue at serving temperature, reducing the need for frequent reheating during a meal.

Hosts can start fondue on any common hob and finish at the table, making preparation adaptable to different kitchens and serving styles.
Durable, easy-care finish – With smooth enamelled interior
The enamelled surface resists scratching and acid, remains taste-neutral and prevents caking for cleaner cooking. Hand washing is recommended, though dishwasher use is possible.
Food releases more easily and everyday cleaning is straightforward, helping the set maintain its appearance and performance over time.
