Fondue sets

[Garry William]

Hi

Don’t know if this is just an Australian thing or if in America Fondue sets and cooking is becoming a real trendy collection item and party theme.

I have been collecting Fondue sets for about 10 years and entertain at home during winter months in this style. My first set was one I got as a leftover from mum she was chucking it out and I thought what a fun thing to do for a dinner party. Well that started the bug and then I started to collect them. At first they were about $5 to $10 including the forks then new one started to appear on the market as chocolate Fondue sets then the price of the old ones started to increase. Just last weekend I found one in the window of an antique shop as the main display selling for $90. I have about 25 in my collection and use some of them regularly. I also have a small collection of Fondue cook books from the 70’s as well.

Really nice collection of Fondue sets.  I like the way you have displayed them.

I actually found one in Concord, NC. It's an orange pot with a mushroom design. I love it, but it didn't come with a stand. This may sound like a newbie question...but can I use it for normal stove-top cooking?

I've been collecting fondu pots and related accessories for about ten years also and now I have quite the collection of fondu plates, forks and cook books. I've always loved the social aspect of a fondu party. I received my first fondu pot as a wedding present on the 70's. My favorite is the warm cheese sauce dip (don't forget the wine).
I started buying them because i figured (hoped) eventually fondu would become popular again; how could it not it's such a fun thing to do. I have a few displayed in my booth space but they don't seem to be selling.
We eat out less (economy) and and intertain more at home; fondu is one perfect fun way to do this.
