Melting Pot Tips For Fondue Recipes

HOW TO FONDUE WITH OIL

Steps:

• Place your electric fondue pot on the dinner table where it will be served. Add oil to our fondue pot, being sure not to fill it pass the max fill line. Secure the electric cord so no one trips over it!
• Plug the pot in and turn the pot to 375°F.
• Meanwhile, add the raw meats and frozen items to individual bowls.
• When the oil is hot, begin cooking food in the pot. Allow each guest (up to 5) to add one raw item to their colored fondue fork directly from the serving bowl and set in the pot. (Do not have guests transfer raw meat to their dinner plates.)
• Each dinner guest can keep an eye on their own food as it cooks, paying attention to what color fondue forks they have. Don't allow too many foods in the oil at one time or it will bring the temperature of the oil down too low. When their food is done, carefully place it on their dinner plate and enjoy with dips or sauces.
