Fondue Forks

Fondue forks are specialized tools, which have evolved over hundreds of years of cooking Switzerland's most famous dish. This evolution has raised the humble, pointed stick to the point of culinary perfection. Fondue forks feature long handles, have unusual and useful tongs, and are often covered in decorative finishes. The implement's elongated handle makes it ideal for dipping bread, fruit, cake, or any other morsel into the pot of hot liquid. The handle's also serves to keep tender hands a safe distance from the heat source of the fondue pot as well as its simmering contents.

Excuse My Reach
Often, the long handles of fondue forks are made of durable stainless steel. Stainless tines make for easy cleaning and a sharp, modern look. Traditionally, the metal components of the fondue fork have a handle at one end, which is insulated and more purely decorative. These ornamental caps can coordinate or contrast with the look of an existing fondue set. Many enthusiasts purchase extra forks to dress up an older fondue set. Popular choices for materials range from colorful enamels to wood. Consider dishwasher safety, heat protection, and ergonomics when choosing a set of forks.
