Electric. It is very convenient to use and safe - there is no open fire, the temperature is regulated and maintained in the desired mode. It is better to buy an electric fondue maker for home, family and friendly dinners. Electric fondue makers are more expensive than traditional ones, but do not require the cost of fuel for burners.
Fondue bowl - caquelon - is made of steel, cast iron, ceramics. A fondue pot for chocolate or cheese should be with a bowl made of ceramics - ceramics warm up well and evenly, are easy to clean and easy to care for. Steel caquelons for meat fondue, they are relatively inexpensive. Cast iron fondue makers are universal, suitable for any fondue. Cast iron warms up evenly, keeps the desired temperature for a long time, and accordingly maintains the dish itself in the required semi-liquid state. You can buy a high-quality cast-iron fondue maker in stores selling professional utensils. They are significantly more expensive than the rest, but their versatility pays off.
