What kind of heat source should you use for fondue?

For fondue, the best heat source is a fondue pot that uses a small burner, such as a gel fuel, candle, or alcohol burner, which provides a steady and controllable flame. Electric fondue pots are also popular, offering adjustable temperature settings for precise heat control. It's important to avoid direct high heat, as this can scorch the cheese or chocolate. Always ensure the heat source is stable to prevent accidents during the dining experience.
