Dessert fondue recipes
began appearing in the 1960s. Slices of fruit or pastry are dipped in a
caquelon of melted chocolate. Other dessert fondues can include
coconut, honey, caramel and marshmallow.
For
cheese and chocolate fondue you should use shallow, heavy bottomed
cast-iron or
porcelain
fondue pot. Do not use a porcelain fondue pot for meat because they
will
not withstand the high temperature required for oil.
Never
fill more than 1/3 of the fondue pot with melted cheese, oil or
chocolate
because it may bubble up when raw food is added. More tips...
