fondue party tips....


Figure just how much food you'll need. ♥
One person can eat about 20 one-inch cubes of bread (1/2 to 1/3 of a loaf of French bread), 8 ounces of meat, 6 ounces of fish or seafood, 4 to 6 ounces of cheese, 6-8 ounces of vegetables, before trimming, 6-8 ounces of fruit, before trimming, 2-4 ounces of dried fruit, 4 cookies, 2 to 3 ounces of dessert sauce.
Figure a total of about 1 pound of food, or a little more, per person

Serve bite-size food. ♥
All fondue food should be served in one or two bite pieces to allow for easy skewing or hand-dipping. Strawberries, large marshmallows, small cookies, medium shrimp, large scallops, etc., are perfect as they are. Thick bread and cake should be cut into 1-inch cubes. Cut meats into 1/2 to 1-inch cubes.

Use the correct fondue pot. ♥
Ceramic fondue pots for cheese, chocolate, or other dessert fondues. Metal fondue pots for broth, oil, wine or beer fondue recipes in which the food is cooked in the pot. Combination pots are the most practical and are usually very elegant
Use the right liquids. ♥
Use flavorful liquids only, such as broth, beer or wine, never water. When adding wine to a cheese fondue recipe, use a dry or semi-dry wine, such as a Swiss Fendant, Sauvignon Blanc or California Riesling to help the proteins in the cheese melt more smoothly.
Cook your fondue sauce on the stove; serve in the fondue pot. ♥

Never let your fondue recipe boil in the pot. ♥
Keep cheese and dessert fondues at a low temperature, just enough to keep them warm, about 120 degrees. Use a very low flame or tea light candle to warm the pot. Oil for frying should be kept at about 375 degrees. At that temperature, a cube of bread will brown evenly in about 20 or 30 seconds.
Observe fondue etiquette. ♥
Remember you are dipping and swirling from a communal pot; try not to touch your lips or tongue to a fork that goes back into the pot.
When cooking in the pot, skewer meats onto your fondue fork in such a way that the tines protrude slightly. That way, the meat will not stick to the bottom of the fondue pot. Important: Remove the cooked meat from the fondue fork before eating. The fork will be much too hot!
and remember just have fun and enjoy! ♥
