Swissmar Biel 11 Piece Copper Fondue Set

Sometime after World War II, Swiss cooks began cooking meat in hot oil as an alternative to their beloved cheese fondue – a kind of French-fried meat supper. It became known as fondue Bourguignonne because the French-speaking Swiss are descended from the Burgundians.

Tip: The cooking oil should be heated in the metal fondue pot on top of the kitchen stove. The optimum temperature for frying the meat is 190C, although it can be cooked properly down to 182F. A deep-frying thermometer is an essential tool for telling when the oil has reached the frying temperature.

Features:

• Pot made of 0.8mm thick, 18/8 copper-plated stainless steel
• Tapered opening to keep the heat inside the pot, allowing the oil to remain above 190 degrees Celsius without splattering
• Traditional pot design with hammered mirror finish
• Versatile: also great for one-pot meals such as chilli, hearty soups, Swedish meatballs, hot nacho and veggie dips
• Fire Gel sold separately
