- Fondue Pot: A classic stainless steel pot with a double boiler insert designed for melting cheese and other ingredients smoothly.
- Melanger (Fondue Whisk): Specifically designed for fondue, this whisk has long handles to keep hands at a safe distance from the hot mixture.
- Cheese Grater: A manual or electric grater to finely grate cheese, ensuring it melts evenly when combined with wine and other ingredients.
- Wooden Forks: Traditional utensils to dip sticks into the cheese mixture. Preferably long and thin for easy handling.
- Dippers: Various food items that are fondue-friendly, such as bread cubes, vegetables (like apple or pear slices), cooked meats like chicken breast strips, etc. Make sure they can withstand the heat without falling apart.
- Heatproof Tongs: Useful for stirring and serving fondue while keeping your hands safe from the hot cheese mixture.
- Silicone Fondue Set: Some sets include a pot, utensils (forks), and dippers all in one convenient package.
- Double Boiler: An alternative method for melting cheese without direct heat, though not as traditional as using a fondue pot designed for the purpose.
- Digital Thermometer: To ensure your fondue stays within the ideal temperature range (typically between 135°F to 140°F or 57°C to 60°C).
- Cheese Selection (Optional): While Swiss cheese is traditional, you can explore other options like Gruyère, Emmental, or even a blend for variations.
