Using your fondue pot with oil

Be sure fondue pot is completely dry before filling with oil.

Fill fondue pot with 3½ cups of vegetable or other comparable oil.

Note: Do not use more than 3½ cups oil. Do not use butter, margarine, lard, olive oil or shortening in place of vegetable oil. Never add water or any other liquid to oil.

Place fork ring on top edge of fondue pot. The fork ring holds fondue forks in place when cooking foods in the hot oil. It also may prevent some of the spattering during cooking.

Note: Do not place the glass cover over the fondue pot when heating oil or cooking in oil.

Remove ice crystals or excess water on food before cooking in oil by blotting with a paper towel. Do not cook frozen vegetables in oil fondue.

Heat oil at setting 7.5 for 10 to 15 minutes until barely bubbling and oil reaches 375°F when tested with a candy thermometer or deep fry thermometer, or a 1-inch cube of bread can be cooked to a golden, toasty brown.

Note: If large quantities of cold food are added at the same time, it may be necessary to increase temperature from setting 7.5 to 8.

After cooking with oil, turn the temperature control dial to Off. Allow fondue pot and fondue ring to cool completely before handling and cleaning.

TIPS AND HINTS

•Caution: Extreme caution must be used when moving fondue pot containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Cooking with hot oil is not recommended when children are present. Some spattering of oil can occur.

•Do not place the glass cover over the fondue pot when heating oil or coking in oil.

•Never add water or any other liquid to oil.

•When removed from the hot oil, fondue forks are extremely hot. Take care not to eat directly from one of the fondue forks.

•Adjust temperature setting as needed to maintain oil temperature.

•Dipping suggestions include scallops, shrimp, green beans, tofu, peppers, cauliflower, carrots, and steamed potatoes.

•Dipping sauces are a great accompaniment.

See page 17 for recipes.

USING YOUR FONDUE POT WITH BROTH

•When making a broth fondue, use a homemade stock that has been strained, or a flavorful store-bought broth or stock.

•Be sure that the broth is low in sodium – a high-sodium stock will become more concentrated as the stock or broth cooks.

•Season broths with spices or fresh herbs for flavorful dipping.

•Keep additional hot stock or broth available to add to the fondue pot as necessary.

•Dipping suggestions include thinly sliced meats (chicken, pork and/or beef); scallops; shrimp; zucchini or summer squash; mushrooms; and tofu.

•Dipping sauces are a great accompaniment.

See page 17 for recipes.

USING YOUR FONDUE POT WITH CHOCOLATE

To prepare chocolate fondue, first add your liquid, a mixture of heavy cream and milk. Turn dial to setting 4.5 and bring liquid to a simmer. Be sure that it does not boil or it will be too hot for the chocolate.

Once liquid is simmering, reduce temperature to setting 3.5. Gradually whisk in the chocolate until melted. Reduce to setting 3 and stir in any addi- tional flavorings, such as alcohol, extracts, etc.
