S/O Fondue!

Madam A · December 2010

MH - We have a fondue pot in our kitchen cabinet that we have yet to use. You have inspired me to give this a shot with DH tonight... Any recipes/seasoning combos you particularly like and want to recommend?

Bride_to_be_2011 · December 2010

MA- I can totally give you some recipes from my book

miguelhilary2010 · December 2010

I just use vegetable broth (neutral taste) with whatever seasonings.... usually a lemon-pepper blend I have which gives it some kick. I usually cut up raw salmon, filet, chicken and shrimp (raw, uncut, tail/shell off), and some potato and broccoli and put it on a platter. I also put out cocktail sauce, butter, teriyaki sauce, etc in ramikens for dipping after it cooks. Since I always keep meats and shrimp in the freezer, it's a pretty cheap meal to pull together... but if you have to buy all of the stuff it can add up, so you may want to have just 2 proteins or something.

Oh yay!! Do you have it available today though? I'm thinking about doing this tonight. I just emailed DH... He is probably like whaaa?

Yea, I'm thinking we'll limit it to whatever 2 we have in the house... I'm off to find a good broth recipe. Thanks!

Does anyone have any good cheese fondue recipes?

Bride_to_be_2011 · December 2010

Mmmm lots of good ones on this site. It is making my mouth water.. http://www.gofondue.com/cheese.htm

FutureMrsTCT · December 2010

I now want fondue. Sadly I don't have a fondue pot....off to see how much they are....

Bride_to_be_2011 · December 2010

The one I got was like 30 bucks.. if that.

Madam A · December 2010

We bought one for my mom for Mother's Day a few years ago. She never used it and gave it back to DH and I when we moved into our house. We have also never used it. Until Now!

They should be relatively cheap like B2B said. I got mine from Target, and I bought one for my cousin at BB&B.

Bride_to_be_2011 · December 2010

This is the one I have http://www.amazon.com/Trudeau-15-Piece-Meat-Fondue-Set/dp/B0001V3H58/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1291391007&sr=8-2

FutureMrsTCT · December 2010

oooo...Thanks girls! I'm seeing if FI wants to do this. We might have to head out to BB&B (and Target is right next to it in case we don't find anything) tonight. Of course now the problem is I have an hour till lunch and I'm starving!

We got a fondue pot as one of the first items off our registry. we tried to make a chocolate fondue and were very excited. But the chocolate burnt and it was gross and we have never tried again.

You have to use a different chocolate (not just regular chocolate chips) and usually add a cream in there to moisten it up. You also have to keep the temperature really low. I did it once, but cleaning up the pot was a PITA, so I haven't done it again.

I'm pretty sure target and BB&B have the melting chocolate, but I could be wrong.

caraellen23 · December 2010

MH - thanks, I do want to try it again. I used chocolate wafers last time, becuase I've used those for melting and making chocolate bars before. But I didn't add cream. I also admit that I can be VERY impatient and I may or may not have jacked up the temperature because I wanted it to melt faster. ;-)

miguelhilary2010 · December 2010

I have to admit that I cooked all my meats at high temps because I was impatient until I relized that I was drying them out that way... which took a few years. We're all learning

Bride_to_be_2011 · December 2010

Yea the trick with chocolate is to warm it up to melt, not to cook it.

maybe use a double boiler to melt it and then put it in the fondue pot to keep it melted.
