For whatever reason – perhaps it's the recent snowfall (or the distinct lack of skiing holidays we've been on over the past year), either way, fondue sets are selling out everywhere this month. And we're all for it – whether for cheese or chocolate. Buying a fondue set isn't just about how much food you can melt inside – you'll also want to invest in one that looks the part on your dining table. For a pretty looking setup and an easy cleanup. Oh, and let's not forget about all of the photos you'll be taking while dipping your strawberries, bread, meat and more, that will obviously make it to your Instagram.
