Fondue sets are on another planet in the complex universe of kitchen utensils. All fondues share the same cooking method (varying from simmering to slow frying or melting), achieved with a casserole dish or pot placed over a heat source that is taken directly to the table. On the basis of these differing needs, Alessi"s aim with the “Mami" fondue set project was to create a truly complete system of objects for all aspects of fondue-style cooking. For fondue bases and cooking pots, see Alessi"s "Mami" Fondue collection including the Bourguignonne steel casserole dish and the traditional stove-top ceramic casserole dish, ideal for cheese and chocolate fondues. There are two styles of forks: those with two beak-headed prongs (for meat) and those with three prongs, with widened palms (for cheeses, chocolate and whatever else needs to be put together each time, even for just a part of the sauce). The system includes small stainless steel and ceramic bowls, available in sets of 3. To complete the Mami fondue collection, a turning tray was created to facilitate the community aspect inherent in fondue-style cooking. This item features the Mami Lazy Susan: a huge, wood revolving container with six indentations to secure bowls. Material: Wood. Dimensions: 16" Diameter
