You know, by an amazing coincidence, just a couple of weeks ago I broke 
a ceramic fondue pot while making fondue for our kids.  It was a wedding 
present (aren't they always?) and only two of the special forks could be 
found--the other four having been lost as soon as we opened the box.  
Where *do* fondue forks go?

The point, though, was that the ceramic pot, despite being encircled by 
cast iron rings suspending it above the flaming Sterno, split in half.  
Melted cheese immediately began to string through the cracks, falling 
into the Sterno and raising a truly hideous stench.  There were small 
splinters of vitreous china throughout the viscous mess.  In short, it 
was an irretrievable loss of both meal and vessel.

The kids were impressed, though.
