Tatar hat
A Tatarenhut is a special Fondue appliance in the conical shape of a traditional hat of Tartar . The hat is made of heat-resistant sheet steel, on the outside of which steel tips or knobs are evenly spaced by several centimeters. At the lower edge of the cone there is a "hat brim", a circumferential, welded juice channel. The Tatar hat is widely used in Switzerland, Austria and Saxony and is also offered by some restaurants there.
There are various devices on the market:

- Heating by three burners operated with fuel paste or liquid alcohol as in a rechaud or fondue device.
- Electrically powered tatar hats that can also be used for raclette .
