fondue

Capacities range from small 10‑ounce melting pots up to large 3‑quart (96‑ounce) pots. Other common sizes shown include 24 ounces, 48 ounces (1.5 quarts / 6 cups), and 64 ounces.

Electric pots list adjustable temperature controls (ranges shown from 150° to 450°), illuminated or simple temperature dials, and safety or convenience features such as fork notches on the rim, magnetic power/connectors, and cool‑touch handles on some models.

Common counts shown in listings are 4, 6, or 8 forks included per set.

Listings suggest both sweet and savory uses: chocolate and cheese fondue; savory broths and hot pot for cooking meats and vegetables; and sauces such as nacho cheese, BBQ sauce, or ranch. Common dippers include strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels, vegetables, and other bite‑sized items.

Cast‑iron and enameled cast‑iron pots are shown as stovetop‑compatible and can be heated on gas or electric cooktops. Electric fondue units are presented as powered tabletop models, often with removable pots designed for electric use.
