Swissmar Lugano Fondue Set

While the set is versatile, the tea light heating method is best suited for cheese or chocolate. It does not generate enough sustained heat to safely cook raw meat in oil.

The cast iron pot is designed for serving and keeping food warm over the tea light stand. You should melt your cheese or chocolate on the stovetop first, then transfer it to the fondue pot to maintain the temperature.

With a 2-quart capacity, this set is perfectly sized for two people. It provides enough volume for a cozy meal without taking up excessive space on your table.

Yes, to maintain the integrity of the cast iron, you should hand wash the pot with warm water and mild soap. Avoid using the dishwasher, and ensure the pot is completely dry before storing it to prevent rust.

The tea light provides a gentle, constant heat that is not adjustable. It is designed to keep your fondue at a consistent serving temperature rather than to cook the ingredients.
