What are the things you want to look for when buying a fondue pot?

Buyers considering fondue pots should seek out a pot of the right size, pot material and fuel type for the intended use. A buyer must decide whether the pot is intended for making meat fondues or cheese and dessert fondues before narrowing down the available choices.

Meat fondues require a large metal pot that can withstand high temperatures and a liquid fuel that burns at a high enough temperature to properly cook the meat. Fondue pots with thick ceramic walls that hold the contents at a consistent temperature for a long period of time and pots that use candles or gel fuel are good for cheese and chocolate fondues.
