After use
Before cleaning your fondue pot, let it cool completely. Direct contact with cold water while the pot is still hot can cause cracks in the enamel. Wash the fondue pot by hand with warm water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive detergents and metal scourers that could damage the enamel. For more stubborn residue, fill the fondue pot with warm, soapy water and let it soak before gently scrubbing. Once washed, dry the elements carefully with a soft cloth to avoid any traces of moisture that could create stains.
Long term maintenance
Store your fondue pot in a dry place to prevent moisture from damaging the enamel. If you stack several enameled cast iron utensils, place a soft cloth between them to protect the enamel.
