I received 2 fondue pots and I wanted to do chocolate in one and cheese in the other. Any cheese fondue recipes you'd care to share? And what's the best bread to use?Cheese or Chocolate fondue?
Use french bread cubes for dipping. Here's a traditional but easy recipe for cheese fondue:
CHEESE FONDUE
1 tbsp. butter
4 oz. Gruyere-Emmenthale cheese
1 c. dry white wine
1 tbsp. flour
Pinch of cayenne
Pinch of nutmeg
4 tbsp. kirsch
Melt together in a saucepan on the top of the stove. Rub inside of fondue pot with a cut clove of garlic, then transfer cheese mixture into it and keep heated.
Here's a chocolate fondue recipe:
CHOCOLATE FONDUE
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. unsweetened cocoa
1/3 c. water
1 c. milk
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. liqueur (Creme de Menthe, Grand Marnier, Kahlua, etc)
Combine sugar and cocoa in heavy 3 quart saucepan, blend in water and stir in both milks and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until begins to boil. Remove from heat, add vanilla and liqueur, pour into fondue pot and use low Sterno flame to prevent scorching. Makes 3 1/4 cup sauce.
For dipping, use pieces of apple, pear, peach, banana, strawberries, pineapple chunks, marshmallows or pound cake. Arrange on serving platter.
Cheese.Cheese or Chocolate fondue?
dont forget teh strawberries to dip in teh choc.
sounds great - what time is dinner
A hard crusty bread along with veggies for the cheese fondue. Bargain Books has a lot of cook books on fondueing at resonable costs. That way you'd probably use it more to try out a lot of recipes.
i would make sure i had some fruit for the chocolate
and some veggies for the cheese
i dont know, but i have always wanted a fondue pot....good luck with it!
For a chocolate fondue, here are some great dippers:
Marshmallows, cherries (w/stems) pineapple chunks, oreos, Graham crackers, nutter butter, Frozen Pound cake, bananas, strawberries, blackberries or pretzels!
Don't forget a little heavy cream and a splash of liquor!
Make a basic white sauce in a saucepan on the stove. When finished transfer to your fondue pot and add as much or as little of shredded cheese as you like. You are pretty much free to do what you want...choose any cheese you like. Adding chopped chives or sliced green onion adds an additional 'yum factor'. Stir to combine and melt the cheese. Your fondue is ready to go.
This recipe is extremely simple and cheap to make...not to mention delicious. I would serve it with sourdough or something equally nice and crusty like french bread.
As far as chocolate goes...I have only ever broken up a large chocolate bar and added 2 tbsp. of butter and a dash of cinnamon to get it going in the pot. Oey goey and yummy.
Both are quite good.

Fondue prices at the melting pot?
My boyfriend and I are big cheese lovers. Our 3 year anniversary is coming up and I wanted to treat him to some cheese or even chocolate fondue. I was wondering if anyone knew approx prices for the fondues only...Fondue prices at the melting pot?
Maybe if you make the fondue yourself he'll pop the question. It is easy to make fondue at home here are some recipes:
Prices vary by location, here is a sampling from one in Michigan
Cheese Fondue
Each cheese fondue includes fresh breads, vegetables and apples for
dipping. Please choose one cheese fondue per cooktop at your table.
$14.00 (serves 1-2) $7.00 per additional person

If you do just a cheese fondue (they consider it an appetizer) and just a choc fondue (dessert), you can probably get out of there for around $50-60, depending upon where you live. No alcohol or soft drinks, tho. To save money, drink water.
http://www.meltingpot.com/menu.aspx
Their site says prices vary by location. Put your zipcode in on that page, and you can get an idea. Also, call and ask if they have specials you can take advantage of, or online or newspaper coupons.
Happy anniversary!
They are pretty expensive. When my dad and I went, it was about $80 for both of us. We got the cheese fondue, salads, meats, and the chocolate fondue though. They do give you a lot of food. Go to restaurants.com and buy a certificate. That will help.
I suggest seeing if you have a local fondue place. Ours is a million times better then meltign pot and a bit cheaper. For 2 you are looking at at least $80 there.new album releases argus

I got a fondue pot for x-mas (the real kind, not the tea light kind) and I am attending a pot luck x-mas party, anyone have some interesting fondue receipies, aside from the traditional cheese or chocolate?Good Fondue Recepies?
This has cheese, but it is easy and is a bit different. Simply Cheesy Crabby Dip. 1lb velveeta cheese, 1 lb. margerine or butter, 2 cans of crab meat (pretty cheap, you find it next to tuna), melt it together and serve it with breadsticks or French bread. It's really good.
Buffalo Chicken with Blue Cheese Fondue:
To keep the cheese creamy and smooth, stir the dippers in a figure-eight movement. A heavy enamel fondue pot helps prevent the cheese from burning on the bottom. Wing sauce can be found with other hot sauces in the condiment section of your grocery store.
Dippers:
4 (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
Cooking spray
1/4 cup bottled wing sauce (such as Crystal), divided
2 cups green beans, trimmed (about 8 ounces)
2 cups (3 x 1/2-inch) carrot sticks
2 cups (3-inch) celery sticks
2 cups red bell pepper strips
12 ounces French bread, toasted and cut into 1-inch cubes
Fondue:
2 cups (8 ounces) crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup dry white wine
2/3 cup 1% low-fat milk
1 (8-ounce) block fat-free cream cheese, softened
Preheat oven to 400掳.
To prepare dippers, place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to a 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Place the chicken on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush with 2 tablespoons wing sauce. Bake at 400掳 for 5 minutes. Turn chicken over, and brush with 2 tablespoons wing sauce. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until done. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces.
Cook the beans in boiling water for 1 minute or until crisp-tender; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain well. Place beans on a platter with carrot, celery, bell pepper, and bread; set aside.
To prepare the fondue, combine the blue cheese and the cornstarch in a large saucepan. Stir in wine, milk, and cream cheese. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 8 minutes or until mixture is smooth, stirring frequently. Pour into a fondue pot. Keep warm over low flame. Serve with dippers.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 ounces chicken, 1/4 cup beans, 1/4 cup carrots, 1/4 cup celery, 1/4 cup bell pepper, 1 1/2 ounces bread, and about 1/3 cup fondue)Good Fondue Recepies?
I once filled my fondue pot with Swedish meatballs - it was emptied in minutes. Pot luck, hm...sounds like it may be a buffet style evening? Nothing too saucy or difficult to get onto a plate. You could do something layered, like an English trifle (sp?). The only other fondue recipes I know either involve broth (fondue Chinois) or frying (fondue Bourguignon). Enjoy!

Not called fondue (tempura) but if you have a good pot it will work.
Cut up small pieces of beef, pork and chicken. Then
supply small mushrooms, zuchini cubes, onion cubes,
Heat 1/4 of fondue pot full of oil. Peanut is best as it does not smoke and adds flavor.Supply long forks
and deep fry all. For a change, supply beer batter to coat. Supply various dipping sauces.
Put oil in the pot and fry cubes of steak then roll them in sour cream and dip it in chopped nuts. I know it sounds odd, but I had it at a friend's house and it was yummy!

Fondue refers to several French Swiss communal dishes shared at the table in an earthenware pot ("caquelon") over a small burner ("rechaud"). The term "fondue" comes from the French "fondre" ("to melt"), referring to the fact that the contents of the pot are kept in a liquid state so that diners can use forks to dip into the sauce. The sauce is usually warmed either by a separate buner containing an alcohol-based fuel or simply by tealights. Though cheese fondues are the best known kind, there are several other possibilities for the contents of the pot and what is used for dipping.
As with other communal dishes, fondue has etiquette standards ranging from practical to amusing. Some people consider it rude to allow one's lips or tongue to touch the fondue fork, and with meat fondues one should use a dinner fork to remove the meat from the dipping utensil. The "no double-dipping" rule applies here as well, once a taste has been taken of a dipped morsel it should not be returned to the pot. If the bread or fruit is lost in the cheese or chocolate, it is tradition for that person to buy a round of drinks or to be punished in another way.
Fondue is a food that became very popular in the 1970s. Fondue was said to be invented for the purpose of using up old cheese and dry bread. The Swiss also found fondue convenient because of the freezing winters and the scarce amount of fresh food. Having fondue helped the Swiss people have a meal when they couldn鈥檛 go out and get fresh food.
try http://allrecipes.com/recipes/appetizers鈥?/a> it's got some great tips and recipes that will blow your mind and Sinhalese your taistebuds...
bagna cauda
per person you need
2 fine chopped anchovies (those that are salted and canned in oil)
1/2 fine chopped garlic head
100 cc heavy cream
1tbsp butter
some olive oil
Brown the garlic in butter and oil (don't burn it, it should be transparent). add chopped anchovies, add cream and continue heating and mixing, don't let it boil, put it in the fondue pot and keep it warm, you can dip vegetables, chicken cutlets, and ravioli, oh, and bread, of course
some people add 100 gr of chopped walnuts
some people add milk if the bagna cauda gets very heavy
You may cook with the traditional Gruyere Cheese, Emmental Cheese, Garlic, and Kirch, and you may also put some peeled shrimps so the Guest can cook the shrimps inside the fondue, it is very tasty... and of course you use the bread.
Traditional fondue is made with a combination of Emmentaler and Le Gruyere. The items used for dipping have become much more creative. The traditional dipper has always been cubes of crusty Italian or French bread.
Traditional Swiss Cheese Fondue
1 lb grated Emmentaller
1 lb grated Le Gruyere
3 cloves garlic put through garlic press
3.75 cups dry white wine
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp kirsch or lemon juice (Kirsch is traditional)
3 tbsp corn starch
pepper and nutmeg to taste
2 loaves Italian or French bread cut into 1" cubes with crust on one side
PREPARATION:
Combine Emmentaler and Le Gruyere and sprinkle with corn starch (this can be done in a plastic bag). In a stick free pan slowly melt the cheese in the wine with the heavy cream - put the cloves of garlic through the press into the wine cheese mass.
Rub inside of fondue pot with a cut garlic clove.
Turn heat to medium heat until warm, not boiling!
Add Kirsch or lemon juice.
We serve this with generous salads, small boiled potatoes, tiny dill gherkins and glasses of crisp cold white wine.
I got one for Christmas too and need to know some healthy recipes because I don't think chocolate and cheese are too healthy
Not doing cheese or chocolate kinda limits your options, unless you wanted to do more meal like items and cook meats, fish or seafood in oil. But that can get kind of expensive.
You can do a tomato based fondue and dip hard breads, cheeses (mozzerella, provolone), small meatballs, zuchini slices, bell peppers, even cooked pasta - something larger like rigatoni, tortelini, gnochi, ravioli, shells or rotini that hold the sauce better - kinda wouldn't want to use spaghetti :). Add some grated cheese to the sauce. Growing up, my mother used to make her "gravy" (it's called gravy in our house, never tomato sauce) in a huge pot and it would simmer on the stove all day - whenever we could sneak in, we'd grab a piece of bread and dunk it in the pot. It was llike a giant fondue pot to us.
You could also do a hot black bean and cheese dip and serve little rounds of bread or tortilla shells cut into small pieces with various toppings on the side - chopped tomatoes, chives, sour cream, etc.
You could also try potato wedges/skins as a dipper for a fondue version of the potato skins appetizer. Do cheese with bacon bits and chives in it with a side of sour cream.
They actually say that if you're doing chocolate, the tea light kind is better than the expensive pots - they evidently get too hot and can scorch the chocolate. But, if you're looking for a dessert, you can always up the chocolate experience by adding caramel and/or chopped nuts to the mix - very delicious. Or bits of candy, like butter finger, fifth avenue, or my fave- heath bars - you need to make sure that if you're adding nuts or candy that you chop them into tiny pieces, larger pieces are likely to slide right off the item being dipped when removed from the pot. You can always throw the candy into a food processor and pulse for a few seconds. If you do this with refrigerated or frozen candy, you'll get nice chopped bits without fear of them turning into mush. You can also add liquers to the chocolate for a little kick.
If you had more than one pot, I'd suggest doing several different versions - white chocolate with chopped up candy canes, milk chocolate with caramel and peanuts and dark chocolate with heath bits. If you don't want to add the nuts or candies to the chocolate, consider putting chopped bits into shallow bowls or plates and people can choose what to add without limiting them to your one chosen concoction.
As for what to dip, other than the obvious - pound cake, bananas and strawberries, etc. - try marshmallows, butter cookies, pecan sandies, small pretzel rods - make small graham cracker and marshmallow fluff sandwiches to be dipped for a s'more like dipper. Coconut macaroons, biscotti, Take a walk down the snack and cookie aisle and get inspired.
And since this is a pot luck party, I'm not sure what will be supplied, so you might want to consider bringing a nice supply of desert/cocktail sized napkins - people will need something to hold under the their creation to keep drips from getting all over the hosts house.
Below is a link to the Food Network's Fondues and Dont's. Interesting. The second link is a great article of things you NEED to know for a successful fondue experience.
Heat peanut oit (higher temperature) and use it to cook bits of steak, chicken and veggies in oil. It is very good and a kind of slow dinner. Add the cheese pot for a dip in the cheese as well.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Fondue
8 thin-sliced skinless, boneless chicken breast cutlets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
12 slices from a package of sliced Swiss cheese, 4 slices torn into pieces (about 1/2 pound total)
4 slices from a package of deli-style ham
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons dry vermouth or white wine (optional)
1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
1. On a work surface, make sandwiches using 2 of the chicken breast cutlets for each: layer 1 of the cutlets, a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of ham, then another slice of cheese and a slice of chicken. Fasten the sandwiches in the center with a toothpick.
2. On a plate, mix the 1/2 cup of flour with the paprika and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Dredge a sandwich in the flour to coat lightly on both sides, shaking off any excess. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
3. In a 12-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the olive oil and cook the sandwiches over medium-high heat until cooked through and golden, turning once, about 3 minutes per side.
4. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth. Whisk in the vermouth and cook for 1 minute (optional). Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce comes to a soft boil and thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the torn up Swiss cheese and cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and serve the fondue-style sauce in small bowls alongside the chicken.

I agree. You don't want to repeat the traditional again and again. The best thing I think you could do is be different. Try different things. Look up other recipes on the web. Try the web site www.ask.com when you get there type what you want and they will give it to you. That's my favorite web site.
Cut beef tenderloin or filet mignon into cubes and use vegetable oil in the fondue pot. A small piece of bread in the pot I heard can absorb water and cut down on spattering but that is optional. Apply sauce of choice to beef after cooking, something like a russian dressing maybe.
At my company's Christmas Party, they had white (milk too, but white was better) chocolate fondue with marshmellows, rice crispy treats, those mini bananas, and strawberries. It was delicious! Watch out though, it's so good you will probably overindulge. I bet theres quite a bit that would go well with white chocolate; like graham crackers, or maybe make little graham cracker %26amp; peanut butter sandwiches. Small bread items go well, but I think it is best to stay away from over-sweet things, since the white chocolate itself is very sweet. If you do rice crispy treats, make them small. Marshmellows were my favorite.

Smokey german fondue recipe
1/2 a small onion
250 ml / 8 fl oz / 1 cup light ale
12 oz grated German smoked cheese
4 oz grated Emmental cheese
3 tsp cornflour
3 tbsp milk
1 tsp German mustard
cubes of rye bread, to serve
Rub the inside of the fondue pot with the cut side of the onion. Pour in the ale
and heat gently until bubbling. Reduce the heat and gradually stir in the grated
cheeses, then continue to stir while they melt, stirring frequently.
In a small bowl, blaend the cornflour smoothly with the milk. then stir into the
cheese mixture with the mustard and continue to cook for a couple of minutes until
thick and creamy. Serve with the bread cubes.
Cheese Fondue Recipe
1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, grated
1/2 pound Emmentaler cheese, grated
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons kirsch
salt and pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
crusty French bread, cut into 1" cubes
nice size pieces of cooked vegetables (broccoli, pearl onions, potatoes, carrots)
Toss the cheeses with the cornstarch and set aside. Rub a saucepan with the garlic, pour in the wine or milk, and heat over low heat until it just simmers. Add the cheese gradually and stir constantly until melted. Add the kirsch, if using, and the seasonings. Stir until mixture is blended and smooth. Keep warm but do not boil. When you are ready to serve, transfer mixture to a fondue pot. Serves 6
Notes: This can look like its too thick but you need to test it with the bread. If you get a good coating of cheese leave it alone. But if it's too hard to swirl the chunk of bread through then add a little more liquid. Also, when the bread is cut into chunks try to leave a little crust on each piece. The crust helps it stay on the fork.
To do this in the CP, I would do all the top of stove instructions on 'High', then instead of transferring to a fondue pot serve it on the table in the CP on 'Low' setting to keep warm.
This is the best cheese fondue, reminds me of the one they make at The Melting Pot.

100 cc heavy cream
1tbsp butter
some olive oil
Brown the garlic in butter and oil (don't burn it, it should be transparent). add chopped anchovies, add cream and continue heating and mixing, don't let it boil, put it in the fondue pot and keep it warm, you can dip vegetables, chicken cutlets, and ravioli, oh, and bread, of course
some people add 100 gr of chopped walnuts
some people add milk if the bagna cauda gets very heavy
You may cook with the traditional Gruyere Cheese, Emmental Cheese, Garlic, and Kirch, and you may also put some peeled shrimps so the Guest can cook the shrimps inside the fondue, it is very tasty... and of course you use the bread.
Traditional fondue is made with a combination of Emmentaler and Le Gruyere. The items used for dipping have become much more creative. The traditional dipper has always been cubes of crusty Italian or French bread.
Traditional Swiss Cheese Fondue
1 lb grated Emmentaller
1 lb grated Le Gruyere
3 cloves garlic put through garlic press
3.75 cups dry white wine
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp kirsch or lemon juice (Kirsch is traditional)
3 tbsp corn starch
pepper and nutmeg to taste
2 loaves Italian or French bread cut into 1" cubes with crust on one side
PREPARATION:
Combine Emmentaler and Le Gruyere and sprinkle with corn starch (this can be done in a plastic bag). In a stick free pan slowly melt the cheese in the wine with the heavy cream - put the cloves of garlic through the press into the wine cheese mass.
Rub inside of fondue pot with a cut garlic clove.
Turn heat to medium heat until warm, not boiling!
Add Kirsch or lemon juice.
We serve this with generous salads, small boiled potatoes, tiny dill gherkins and glasses of crisp cold white wine.
I got one for Christmas too and need to know some healthy recipes because I don't think chocolate and cheese are too healthy
Not doing cheese or chocolate kinda limits your options, unless you wanted to do more meal like items and cook meats, fish or seafood in oil. But that can get kind of expensive.
You can do a tomato based fondue and dip hard breads, cheeses (mozzerella, provolone), small meatballs, zuchini slices, bell peppers, even cooked pasta - something larger like rigatoni, tortelini, gnochi, ravioli, shells or rotini that hold the sauce better - kinda wouldn't want to use spaghetti :). Add some grated cheese to the sauce. Growing up, my mother used to make her "gravy" (it's called gravy in our house, never tomato sauce) in a huge pot and it would simmer on the stove all day - whenever we could sneak in, we'd grab a piece of bread and dunk it in the pot. It was llike a giant fondue pot to us.
You could also do a hot black bean and cheese dip and serve little rounds of bread or tortilla shells cut into small pieces with various toppings on the side - chopped tomatoes, chives, sour cream, etc.
You could also try potato wedges/skins as a dipper for a fondue version of the potato skins appetizer. Do cheese with bacon bits and chives in it with a side of sour cream.
They actually say that if you're doing chocolate, the tea light kind is better than the expensive pots - they evidently get too hot and can scorch the chocolate. But, if you're looking for a dessert, you can always up the chocolate experience by adding caramel and/or chopped nuts to the mix - very delicious. Or bits of candy, like butter finger, fifth avenue, or my fave- heath bars - you need to make sure that if you're adding nuts or candy that you chop them into tiny pieces, larger pieces are likely to slide right off the item being dipped when removed from the pot. You can always throw the candy into a food processor and pulse for a few seconds. If you do this with refrigerated or frozen candy, you'll get nice chopped bits without fear of them turning into mush. You can also add liquers to the chocolate for a little kick.
If you had more than one pot, I'd suggest doing several different versions - white chocolate with chopped up candy canes, milk chocolate with caramel and peanuts and dark chocolate with heath bits. If you don't want to add the nuts or candies to the chocolate, consider putting chopped bits into shallow bowls or plates and people can choose what to add without limiting them to your one chosen concoction.
As for what to dip, other than the obvious - pound cake, bananas and strawberries, etc. - try marshmallows, butter cookies, pecan sandies, small pretzel rods - make small graham cracker and marshmallow fluff sandwiches to be dipped for a s'more like dipper. Coconut macaroons, biscotti, Take a walk down the snack and cookie aisle and get inspired.
And since this is a pot luck party, I'm not sure what will be supplied, so you might want to consider bringing a nice supply of desert/cocktail sized napkins - people will need something to hold under the their creation to keep drips from getting all over the hosts house.
Below is a link to the Food Network's Fondues and Dont's. Interesting. The second link is a great article of things you NEED to know for a successful fondue experience.
Heat peanut oit (higher temperature) and use it to cook bits of steak, chicken and veggies in oil. It is very good and a kind of slow dinner. Add the cheese pot for a dip in the cheese as well.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Fondue
8 thin-sliced skinless, boneless chicken breast cutlets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
12 slices from a package of sliced Swiss cheese, 4 slices torn into pieces (about 1/2 pound total)
4 slices from a package of deli-style ham
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons dry vermouth or white wine (optional)
1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
1. On a work surface, make sandwiches using 2 of the chicken breast cutlets for each: layer 1 of the cutlets, a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of ham, then another slice of cheese and a slice of chicken. Fasten the sandwiches in the center with a toothpick.
2. On a plate, mix the 1/2 cup of flour with the paprika and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Dredge a sandwich in the flour to coat lightly on both sides, shaking off any excess. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
3. In a 12-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the olive oil and cook the sandwiches over medium-high heat until cooked through and golden, turning once, about 3 minutes per side.
4. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth. Whisk in the vermouth and cook for 1 minute (optional). Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce comes to a soft boil and thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the torn up Swiss cheese and cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and serve the fondue-style sauce in small bowls alongside the chicken.

I agree. You don't want to repeat the traditional again and again. The best thing I think you could do is be different. Try different things. Look up other recipes on the web. Try the web site www.ask.com when you get there type what you want and they will give it to you. That's my favorite web site.
Cut beef tenderloin or filet mignon into cubes and use vegetable oil in the fondue pot. A small piece of bread in the pot I heard can absorb water and cut down on spattering but that is optional. Apply sauce of choice to beef after cooking, something like a russian dressing maybe.
At my company's Christmas Party, they had white (milk too, but white was better) chocolate fondue with marshmellows, rice crispy treats, those mini bananas, and strawberries. It was delicious! Watch out though, it's so good you will probably overindulge. I bet theres quite a bit that would go well with white chocolate; like graham crackers, or maybe make little graham cracker %26amp; peanut butter sandwiches. Small bread items go well, but I think it is best to stay away from over-sweet things, since the white chocolate itself is very sweet. If you do rice crispy treats, make them small. Marshmellows were my favorite.

Smokey german fondue recipe
1/2 a small onion
250 ml / 8 fl oz / 1 cup light ale
12 oz grated German smoked cheese
4 oz grated Emmental cheese
3 tsp cornflour
3 tbsp milk
1 tsp German mustard
cubes of rye bread, to serve
Rub the inside of the fondue pot with the cut side of the onion. Pour in the ale
and heat gently until bubbling. Reduce the heat and gradually stir in the grated
cheeses, then continue to stir while they melt, stirring frequently.
In a small bowl, blaend the cornflour smoothly with the milk. then stir into the
cheese mixture with the mustard and continue to cook for a couple of minutes until
thick and creamy. Serve with the bread cubes.
Cheese Fondue Recipe
1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, grated
1/2 pound Emmentaler cheese, grated
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons kirsch
salt and pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
crusty French bread, cut into 1" cubes
nice size pieces of cooked vegetables (broccoli, pearl onions, potatoes, carrots)
Toss the cheeses with the cornstarch and set aside. Rub a saucepan with the garlic, pour in the wine or milk, and heat over low heat until it just simmers. Add the cheese gradually and stir constantly until melted. Add the kirsch, if using, and the seasonings. Stir until mixture is blended and smooth. Keep warm but do not boil. When you are ready to serve, transfer mixture to a fondue pot. Serves 6
Notes: This can look like its too thick but you need to test it with the bread. If you get a good coating of cheese leave it alone. But if it's too hard to swirl the chunk of bread through then add a little more liquid. Also, when the bread is cut into chunks try to leave a little crust on each piece. The crust helps it stay on the fork.
To do this in the CP, I would do all the top of stove instructions on 'High', then instead of transferring to a fondue pot serve it on the table in the CP on 'Low' setting to keep warm.
This is the best cheese fondue, reminds me of the one they make at The Melting Pot.
good old come with icing and chocolate
keep it simple what is first thing that comes to mind?

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.

Can two different chocolate fondues stay seperated in the same pot?
Anyone whose been to the Melting Pot knows what I'm talking about... they have this delicious fondue that's dark chocolate on one side, white on the other, in a yinyang shape. So how do you keep the chocolates from mixing with each other? And does anyone have a good recipe for this kind of fondue?Can two different chocolate fondues stay seperated in the same pot?
If you were going to do this, I would recommend taking large, solid pieces of chocolate, the white and dark. Heat them at the same temp and DONT touch. This will allow them to melt, not touch each other, and not become mixed. This is hard to do b/c unless done over very low heat, there is a liklihood that the chocolate will burn.

Rub the fondue pot with the cut garlic. Add wine and heat slowly until bubbles form and slowly rise to the surface. Combine cheeses, cornstarch and mustard in a bowl. Slowly add this mixture to the heated wine, stirring continuously until all the cheese is melted and blended into a smooth sauce. Stir in other ingredients and bring to a slow boil (hot enough to keep the sauce bubbling slowly, but not so hot that the cheese separates.)
If fondue gets too thick, thin with heated wine.

When cooked, they dip the beef in one of the sauces.
I like to use Teriyaki ,or A1 sauces. But recently I found this recipe online.

Transfer melted chocolate to fondue pot and reduce heat so that chocolate stays liquid, but not bubbling. Cube dipping foods and arrange on trays around the fondue pot.Home done fondue?
This isn't what you are after but another thing you can do with your fondue pot is fill 3/4ths of the way full with chicken broth that has chives floating in it and have on the side cubes or slices of different kinds of meat (chicken, pork, beef) and fish (shrimp, scallops), veggies like pea pods, carrots sliced on the diagonal, broccoli, zucchini, etc. You put them into the broth to cook the way you want and when everyone has finished eating the goodies on the stick then you pour the broth into bowls and drink it.
