A great way to get together with close friends and family is to have a fondue party.


An excellent fondue set to choose is the cast iron set from Staub which can cook up fondues of any kind and includes a fork ring to position fondue forks in place while cooking.
The cast iron makes it ideal for heat retention making it better a better option when cooking meat. The pot also doubles up for other uses as well and comes with a universal burner base that can be also used outdoors with the Kuchenprofi safety fuel paste.

Keep at least two long handled forks per guest, and preferably three. Keep regular dinner forks at everyone’s place so your guests can use the fondue forks to cook and dip the food in to the fondue pots and use the regular forks to eat.
Whether you choose meat or seafood, cut it up ahead of time and ensure you have roughly one cup of meat for each guest as a general rule of thumb. And for a meat fondue, always preheat the oil to cooking temperature in your kitchen before placing the pot on the burner.
 

Setting the Fondue Pot

A fondue party is more fun when the whole group can sit around a table and chat while cooking or dipping their food. Everybody is served at the same time and the same course of food goes around.

You could also set up a fondue food station in your garden that way, your guests try all of the different foods, and come back for more when they’re ready.
For dessert you could top off your wonderful and delectable fondue menu, with a chocolate fondue, available from Menu.
 

General Safety Tips

Refill oil away from the heat source and then carefully return the pot to the table.
If you are using oil, never fill more than half the pot with oil. Keep the raw food away from ready to eat items to avoid cross contamination.
