Fondue equipment typically includes a fondue pot, which can be made of materials like ceramic, metal, or cast iron. The pot is designed to hold melted cheese, chocolate, or oil, depending on the type of fondue being prepared. A heat source, such as a candle or burner, is used to keep the contents warm and melted. In addition to the pot, fondue sets often come with long forks for dipping food items like bread, fruits, or vegetables. Some sets may also include a serving tray for easy access to dippable items, enhancing the overall fondue experience.
