Trudeau’s basic 7-piece chocolate fondue set is a starter kit; it’s small enough for apartment settings, and its basic black-and-white look can fit in with just about any kitchen or dining scheme. A chocolate fondue is traditionally served with cubes of pound cake and sliced or whole fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, or strawberries. The white stoneware bowl is broad and shallow to help keep the chocolate uniformly melted as it sits above a single candle flame. Each stainless steel fondue fork has a black plastic handle to shield hands from heat and a different colored finial, so fondue dippers can keep track of whose fork is whose. The bowl has an indented lip that fits into the sturdy black metal tripod stand, which has rubberized pads on each of its three feet to prevent scratching or slipping.
