For the Fondue Pot:
24 oz vegetable oil (or canola or peanut oil)
Suggested Dippers:
Meats: Cubed steak, breaded chicken, sausage, breaded shrimp
Vegetables: Potatoes, zucchini, cauliflower, asparagus
Frozen Sides: Onion rings, French fries, cheese curds
Instructions
Set Up:
Place an electric fondue pot on a safe, stable surface like a dinner table. Pour in oil, making sure not to exceed the max fill line. Secure the cord to avoid tripping hazards.
Heat the Oil:
Plug in the pot and turn the temperature to 375°F. Allow oil to fully heat before cooking.
Prepare the Food:
Arrange meats, vegetables, and frozen items in individual serving bowls for easy access.
Cooking:
When oil is hot, allow each guest (up to 5) to place one raw item onto a designated color-coded fondue fork and submerge it into the oil.
Important: Do not allow guests to transfer raw meat to their dinner plates to avoid cross-contamination.
Eat & Enjoy:
Let guests monitor their own food while it cooks. Once cooked through and golden, transfer to plates and serve with favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
Avoid crowding the pot; too many items will lower the oil temperature.
Peanut oil offers a high smoke point and subtle flavor, but check for allergies.
Always supervise fondue use, especially with hot oil and kids present.
Provide dipping sauces like garlic aioli, honey mustard, ranch, or sriracha mayo.
