When preparing different types of fondue, certain cooking pots are particularly suitable. For the classic cheese fondue, you usually need a special fondue pot, the caquelon. This is a pot with a long handle in which the cheese is melted. This pot can be made of high-quality, double-walled, and glazed ceramic, cast iron, or steel. Fondues have been popular in the USA since the 1960s. Originally from France, fondue came to Switzerland, where it is now considered a national dish. A classic fondue is a dish in which cheese is melted in a pot and then taken out of the pot with pieces of bread or potatoes on long forks. This so-called cheese fondue has also been very popular in our country for decades and is a timeless classic on the menu on holidays or special occasions.
