Best way to do meat fondue?

I want to do a meat fondue with chicken, steak, and shrimp. What do you put in the fondue pot- I've heard you can use chicken broth. So can I just buy some cans of chicken broth and and dump it in the pot? Do you add water or anything? Tips please!Best way to do meat fondue?
Interesting... I've always done MY beef-fondue with veggie-oil !!



I'll have to try this with broth... though the cooking time would be annoying.
Yes you can do it with chicken broth. Some people do it to with wine. My favorite though is with oil. It give a great taste to the meat even though it's not light. Not sure about it though if you have shrimp. So I would stick with the broth. You can shred some veggies and stir it in the broth to give extra flavor.

Don't forget the sauce now to enjoy your meat with :o)

Cooking Time:

Beef Rare 鈥?15 to 20 seconds

Medium Rare 鈥?25-30 seconds

Well Done 40 鈥?45 seconds

Fish 30 鈥?60 seconds

Seafood 2-3 minutes

Lamb 1 minute

Pork 1 minute

Poultry 2 minutes

Vegetables 3-5 minutes



Cooking times vary greatly, it is dependent on how hot your fondue is, what the fondue consists of, and how the meat or vegetable was prepared.Best way to do meat fondue?

If you use chicken broth, it won't sizzle or fry and would be braised instead.



Beef Bourguignon

* 1 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

* 3 cups vegetable oil



Heat oil in a fondue pot to 375 degrees F. Use fondue forks to cook meat in oil until it reaches desired doneness.



Edit: Well, I stand corrected -- you can indeed use chicken broth. It's called Mongolian Hot Pot. I learned something new today! Use your broth as is, no need to add water.

Yes - I've done it with the seasoned chicken broth and it worked great. No water needed. I'm sure you could do it with plain broth too, but the extra seasonings were nice.



You can also use wine, and I'm sure there are recipes online, but the broth is just fine.
