Enjoy Using Fondue Pots at Your Next Event, Courtesy of Williams Sonoma

Fondue pots have been classic entertaining accessories for ages, and while trends come and go, fondue sets have endured and are still a treasured part of any event. Fondue pots are small pots that are suspended over a heat source. This heat source gently heats oil, chocolate or cheese. Generally, fondue pots that are filled with oil are used for thoroughly cooking items, like vegetables or meats, and fondue sets that are filled with heated cheese and chocolate are used for dipping fresh fruits, breads, vegetables and meatballs, among other things.

Fondue sets will get you started with everything that you need, as they include skewers, a pot and a heat source. With electric and flame-heated fondue sets available, and plenty of sizes and materials to pick from, you can choose a match that's perfect for your tabletop. Be sure to accessorize with other entertaining accessories, like appetizer plates and linen napkins, and then get ready to have a fun fondue party with friends and family. For cookware that brings people together, Williams Sonoma has exactly what you need.

Enjoy the Versatility of Oven-to-Table Cookware

Some pots and pans are made to be shown off, which is certainly the case with oven-to-table cookware. Whether this cookware features gorgeous materials, like porcelain or copper, or unique detailing, like hand-painted elements, these accessories are good for much more than cooking. Here are some stylish cookware options to consider for your kitchen:

• Serve up Moroccan-inspired dishes with help from a beautifully crafted tagine. Tagines have been used for centuries in Morocco and deliver delicious stews and other dishes. Crafted from beautiful materials, like stoneware, these handcrafted tagines feature gorgeous, hand-painted detailing. From the oven to your table, tagines are a truly versatile option for cookware.
• Craft one-pot meals and other tasty dishes with help from stoneware casserole dishes. Stoneware is a beautiful, enduring material for cookware, as it cooks evenly, and with added features, like an enamel-glaze, it's easy to clean. Pop your food items into this cookware and then take it straight from the oven to your table. Not only is a stoneware casserole dish perfect for cooking, but it's also beautifully crafted and available in a variety of sizes and colors.

Pick Out Stylish Copper Cookware for Your Kitchen

Sometimes, the right cookware material will make all the difference in your kitchen, and that's certainly the case with cookware that's crafted from copper. Copper is excellent at conducting heat, so you'll love how these evenly heated accessories cook your meals. Not only does copper heat and cook well, but it also looks stunning when used as cookware. Copper cookware is offered in plenty of styles and sizes, so whether you're picking up a saucepan, a frying pan or even a kettle, there are lots of options to choose from.

Some copper cooking accessories can even be used as oven-to-table cookware. Certain copper cookware accessories, like stockpots and braisers, feature lids and can move from the oven or stovetop right to your tabletop with ease.
