Le Creuset Caquelon Tradition 22 cm cherry red

Enameled cast iron fondue pot – cherry red, 22 cm, 2.6 liters

A stylish classic for fondue lovers: In Switzerland, cheese fondue is traditionally prepared in a wide-mouthed cast-iron pot – the caquelon. Thanks to the excellent heat retention of cast iron, the cheese melts gently and evenly and stays warm at the table for a particularly long time. This allows you to enjoy your fondue with friends and family – creamy, aromatic, and perfectly tempered.

This caquelon in vibrant cherry red combines timeless elegance with superior functionality. The enameled surface ensures effortless cleaning, while the solid cast iron guarantees even heat distribution – ideal for a perfect fondue experience without burning.
