Enamel Fondue Pot: 15,300 ppm Cadmium.

How much Cadmium is too much Cadmium? In the State of Washington there is a limit of 40 ppm Cadmium for cookware and dishes that may be used by children. This is the strictest Cadmium regulatory standard that I am aware of. In the Country of Denmark, consumer goods are required to test at levels below 75 ppm Cadmium,

Tips for Lead-free / Lead-safe fonduing…

1. Avoid any and all vintage fondue sets.
2. Specifically avoid fondue sets with plastic or rubberized components.
3. Avoid glazed ceramic fondue pots.
4. Avoid enamel coated metal fondue pots.
5. Look for fondue sets with primarily stainless components (clear glass vessels are good too if you can find them.)
