Fondue is a unique form of cooking that allows diners to prepare their food as they eat it. A fondue pot is used to hold a flame and skewers are used to spear food. Cheese and chocolate are the main dipping substances, while small pieces of meat can also be cooked in the pot.
Fondue became popular in the United States in the 1970s, but has been around somewhat since then. It is a unique form of cooking that allows diners to prepare their food as they eat it. While eating it may be a solitary pursuit, it’s best enjoyed with others, perhaps at a fondue party.
A fondue pot is basically a metal or ceramic bowl that is held up by a flame created by a can of gelatinous alcohol. They can be found in almost any store that sells kitchen utensils. Skewers are used to spear food that the diner wants to dip into the fondue, and usually come prepackaged with any pot. The pot can be used for both immersion and cooking.
There are two main dipping substances, cheese and chocolate. Cheese fondue is used with pieces of bread, crackers and similar items. Chocolate can be used with anything diners think would be tasty when dipped in it. Strawberries and other pieces of fruit and small biscuits or pieces of cake are common. To create a cheese or chocolate fondue, the pot is simply filled with chunks of either and heated until the consistency is just right for dipping. Cooks may want to add milk to thin out the cheese or chocolate. It is also possible to find more complicated recipes if the cooks want a gourmet taste.
If someone wants to cook with your fondue pot, you can use small pieces of any type of meat. The smaller the piece of meat, the easier it will be to cook in the pot. Beef, chicken and shrimp are popular choices. To begin cooking, cooking oil is added to the pot and heated to 375°F (176.6°C). A piece of meat is then skewered and left in the oil until it changes colour. This can take a few minutes, which is why it’s more fun to eat fondue at a social event; diners can talk and enjoy themselves while they wait. The meat can be eaten simply after cooking or with a dipping sauce.
