Ceramic is well known for the uniform distribution and retention of heat. This beautiful set is made of durable ceramic for thorough, uniform heating and optimal cooking performance. The uniform distribution of heat makes the fondue melt and be perfectly cooked. Unlike the electric fondue, there is no extension cable draped over the table, avoiding the chance of someone tripping over it. This fondue set is an elegant and safe way to host your fondue party. In addition, this ceramic fondue set can be used in locations where electricity cannot reach. This glazed ceramic fondue set can be heated directly in a microwave and washed in a dishwasher. The glazed ceramic surface prevents the chocolate from sticking to the bottom of the set. Ideal for a group of 2 to 4 people, the 4 mini forks are excellent for any fruits, vegetables, meat or even marshmallows.
