Chocolate Fountains
- To Serve Chocolate Fondue
Traditional shapes or brand new, stylist
chocolate fountains will make an interactive
centerpiece of chocolate fondue to efficiently feed a large
group. Party-goers will be entertained by dipping food items into
flowing tiers of decadent chocolate. New commercial chocolate
fountains serving chocolate fondue come in interesting styles
with ground breaking options (i.e., square tier shape fountains
and fountains that serve two chocolate flavors at one time).
Traditional chocolate fountains look like a multi-tired
chocolate wedding cake.
Chocolate fountains are categorized as either personal chocolate fountains or commercial chocolate fountains. Commercial chocolate fountains are made up of stainless steel and
come in a variety of sizes to suit events under 120 people and
events over 400. Home chocolate fountains are typically made of plastic and hold 1-3 pounds of chocolate,
which are not well suited for large entertaining venues. Large groups require much larger machines to adequately feed and entertain the party size.
Chocolate Fondue is chocolate in its
liquid form. When placed in a chocolate fountain, the chocolate is transported to the top of the fountain by a pump or corkscrew
type auger. Commercial chocolate fondue fountains move chocolate to the top of the fountain with an auger
and the entire machine is made of food grade stainless steel. Pump driven models can clog so are not preferred in commercial applications
and plastic is not acceptable for catering applications.
Commercial Chocolate Fondue
Fountains and some home model fountains are capable of serving
other food products, besides chocolate fondue. Consult the
product manufacturer for further information.
