Can anyone tell me if Sterno can be bought in the UK, or know what the equivalent is for heating an oil based fondue. I'd really appreciate your help.

Hi Kromusdomus, I had to look on Google as I had not heard of Sterno but it seems you can buy it easily online (not sure about the shops though - maybe a hardware shop or camping shop?):

Saying that, I've only used my fondue for oil based recipes and used methylated spirit, seemed to do the trick.

Georgie,terrific!!Thank you for your help.This actually was for another friend, but I'll mention methylated spirits to her as well. K

Best thing for your friend to do, and I am sure she probably does this already but worth mentioning anyway, is to heat the oil on the stove first, then put it on the fondue with the burner going. That way the oil is already at a high heat and the meths is only keeping it at that temperature rather than heating from scratch.

Have passed your message on Georgie.She has been given pot as a present so hopefully we can look forward to a bit of cooking nostalgia.Thanks again. K
