ALWAYS remove water or ice crystals from foods before cooking by blotting dry with
paper toweling. This will prevent excess spattering and foaming of oil.
ALWAYS trim any excess fat from meat and allow cut meat to stand at room
temperature 30 minutes before cooking. Then blot dry before cooking.
If fork ring is included with pot, place securely on top edge. Gently place individual
forks containing bite-size pieces of food into hot oil. Always use fondue forks to
place foods into oil. Do not drop foods into oil. Rest forks in slots of fork ring or on
edge of pot. When foods are cooked to desired doneness, remove by grasping
handle of fork. Exercise caution, as metal shaft and fork will be hot.
ALWAYS use the 375ºF/191ºC heat setting for meat fondue. The oil will be
maintained at a suitable frying temperature and will not overheat. Preheat time is
about 10 to 12 minutes or until signal light on heat control goes out.
Do not carry Fondue Pot when it contains hot oil. Allow oil to cool before moving
Fondue Pot.
After using, turn Fondue Pot to OFF setting, unplug cord from electrical outlet and
allow to cool before moving. If Pot must be moved prior to cooling, first remove heat
control using caution, as portions of the heat control may be hot.
Discard oil from Fondue Pot after it has cooled. Do not reuse the oil.
NEVER leave Fondue Pot unattended or plugged into an electrical outlet when not in
use.
