Melting Pot Tips For Fondue Recipes

Steps:

• Pour the wine and lemon juice into a heavy-based pan over a medium-low heat and warm until steaming. Add all of the cheese, a handful at a time, whisking between each addition until all the cheese has been added. Continue to stir for 4-5 mins until everything is fully melted, smooth and creamy. Mix the cornflour with the kirsch in a small bowl, then stir this into the cheese mixture. Continue to cook over a low heat for a minute more.
• Rub the garlic on the inside of the fondue pot, if you like, then carefully pour the cheese mixture into the pot and immediately place it over the flame. (If you don't have a fondue set, add the garlic along with the wine in step one, then remove and discard it before you add the kirsch mixture.) Serve immediately with crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités or cornichons for dunking, if you like. You can place the fondue back over a low heat if you need to reheat it after serving.

Steps:

• start with 4 oz of base (beer, milk or broth).
• add garlic.
• add 3 shakes of mustard powder.
• stir.
• add small amount of cheddar cheese.
• mix thoroughly (using whipping motion until cheese is melted).
• add five turns of pepper grinder.
• add three to four shakes of worcestershire sauce.
• fold in pepper & worcestershire.
• remove mixing fork.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in saucepan on stovetop.
• Bring to a boil.
• Transfer to fondue pot with alternative heat source.
• Use to cook beef, shrimp, potstickers, chicken, mushrooms, potatoes, broccoli -- or anything else you can think of.
• Veggies are wonderful with "Green Goddess Dip" recipe # 346525.

Steps:

• Put the brie, cream cheese, gruyère, half the parmesan, the milk and cornflour into a food processor, and blitz until smooth. Stir through the thyme and a little black pepper. Spoon the chutney into an ovenproof baking dish (ours was 15cm round) and spread it over the base. Top with the cheese mixture, spread to cover the chutney, then scatter over the remaining parmesan. It can now be covered with cling film and chilled for up to 3 days.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the baking dish on a baking tray and cook for 25 mins until bubbling. Turn the grill to a medium-high setting and grill for 2-3 mins or until golden brown and crispy on top. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 mins before serving with crusty bread for dunking.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable stock in fondue pot until it begins to simmer.
• Add all other ingredients, bring to simmer.
• Place individual pieces of desired meat or veggies on fondue fork and put in pot until correct temperature has been reached. Lobster and shrimp may take under a minute to cook while beef and pork will take slightly longer. Take the necessary precautions so you don't eat raw meat.
