Fondue pots can be used to serve hot appetizers, desserts or entire meals. Fresh vegetables or crusty bread sticks can be dipped in fondue pots filled with tangy melted cheese. You can also fill the pot with melted chocolate for a dessert fondue, or with hot oil for cooking small chunks of meat. A fondue pot is kept warm by a flame or burner that's positioned beneath the pot. A small can of heating fluid can be purchased for heating fondue. Alcohol is another option for fueling the flame under a fondue pot.
Instructions
1. Place the fondue pot on a sturdy, flat and heat-resistant surface.
2. Fill the alcohol burner with denatured alcohol. Do not overfill. An alcohol burner is designed to hold the fuel, and to fit below your fondue pot. A burner will typically hold between 2 to 3 ounces of alcohol, which will burn for about 90 minutes.
3. Place the alcohol burner in its holder below the fondue pot. Reseal your supply of denatured alcohol and put it away before lighting the burner.
4. Light the fluid with a match.
5. Control the amount of heat that is released by opening or closing the burner lid to control the size of the flame.
Tips Warnings
Extinguish the flame after the meal by completely closing the lid of the burner.
Do not add fluid to a burner that is burning or flaming.
Never use a lighter to light the alcohol.
Do not move a lit burner.
Denatured alcohol is toxic and not suitable for human ingestion.
