Answer 1

It's called a Shabu Shabu hot pot, if you live near a Japan town, you can try there.  Also Mitsuwa Marketplace will carry it as well.

Answer 2

It's also called hot pot.  We have this hot pot appliance that you put on top of your dining table.  It comes with a pot and turns on with a small bottle of propane.  We paid about $30 for the whole thing including 3 bottles propane at a Chinese supermarket.  I can't remember what it's called, but if you go there, tell them that you want to do hot pot at home.

Answer 3

Shabu Shabu is just a Japanese version of a hot pot or a steamboat.

You need a metal container and a table top heat sourse.

Answer 4

Both are helpful suggestions, but a common everyday fondue pot with an alcohol burner to boil the stock is fine, I have an electric hot pot for chinese style dishes and a good fondue set for others.

I also happen to have worked in Japan, and they have good ones there and both of the lady's are correct in there answers, but a fondue set with a alcohol burner or lamp oil one is powerful enough to keep the stock boiling and allow you to cook the thin meats, chicken, seafoods and veg properly, alot is in the preparation of the food to so you can make it work, even with the right equipment it is essential to prep right.
