Did you know the Swiss Cheese Union declared fondue a national dish of Switzerland in 1930? The look and feel of the Swissmar Lugano Set is so similar to authentic Swiss fondue pots that you just might be fooled into thinking you're dining at the Castle of Gruyères.
“Swissmar is known for good cookware,” said Papantoniou, and this set is no exception. It has everything you need for a classic fondue night, including six three-prong forks with sturdy faux-wood handles and a wrought-iron stand with a matching tray to slide underneath. Note that some users have found the pot to occasionally slide around on the base if it’s not full, so be careful!
The Lugano's enamel-lined cast-iron pot offers a bevy of benefits like easy clean-up, excellent heat distribution, and the ability to cook at both high and low temps, so you can enjoy everything from a spicy Fireball cheese fondue appetizer to a salted caramel dessert fondue.
“The cast-iron pot retains heat well, and it’s enameled, so you don’t have to worry about heating it and you can use it on all heat sources, even your stovetop,” Papantoniou explained. “It’s a really pretty, modern-looking maker, and the [burner] can easily keep things warm. It’s just a very straightforward model.”
After you heat up your chocolate, cheese, broth, or oil on your stovetop, you can ensure the contents of your pot stay melty and gooey by lighting the gel fuel burner attached to the base. (Swissmar recommends using its own Swiss Fire Gel for best results.)
