Experts recommend cooking cheese fondue in a bowl with a lid at the lowest temperature. So the cheese does not overheat and completely retains the subtlety of taste, but at the same time does not freeze for a long time. We have found the optimal fondue maker for such conditions.

Glass caquelons are rare, so not everyone understands their benefits. Firstly, they are great for heating in the microwave or oven. Fondue is served already with a warm mass, and all guests can immediately start a meal. Secondly, the transparent bowl looks impressive on the table, and when finished, you can easily send it to the dishwasher or refrigerator to save leftovers for later. On the other hand, it must be handled with care - if thermally tempered glass is not afraid of high temperatures, then it will certainly suffer from a blow or fall.
