Hmmm I have been wanting to get a fondue pot for sometime. I will be watching this thread

We have only made cheese fondue with ours. DH makes his own recipes. Aside from that my family back in Germany regularly uses the fondue. We usually just have a oil fondue and have meats and veggies that we prepare in the hot oil. And we just have all kinds of dipping sauces for that.

My new favorite though is the broth fondue they have at the melting pot. You just use broth instead of the oil to prepare the foods.

I've only done cheese and chocolate!

I went to the Melting Pot in May and I loved the food, here are 3 recipes I found online from their restaraunt. I'm going to get my own fondue set soon.

Wisconsin Trio Cheese Fondue
Ingredients:
1 ½ C shredded Butterkäse cheese (6oz) [can be found at Whole foods, but you can also substitute Gouda if you can't find Butterkäse]
1 ½ C shredded Fontina Cheese (6oz)
3 Tbsp flour
¾ C white wine
¼ C dry sherry
2 tsp chopped shallots
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
¼ C crumbled blue cheese
2 Tbsp chopped scallions

Preparation:
Toss the Butterkäse and Fontina cheese with the flour in a bowl. Place a metal bowl over a saucepan filled with 2 inches of water. You may also use a conventional double boiler. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and pour the wine and sherry into the bowl. Sit in the shallots using a fork. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Add half the cheese blend and cook until the cheese is melted, stirring constantly. Add the remaining cheese blend a small amount at a time, stirring constantly in a circular motion after each addition until the cheese is melted. Fold in the pepper and Blue cheese. Pour into a warm fondue pot and keep warm over low heat. Garnish with the scallions.

NOTE: The cheese is shredded and tossed with flour to aid din thickening and to improve the viscosity of the fondue. The fondue should be the consistency of warm honey when completed. Monitor the cheese carefully as it is being added. Not all of the cheese may be needed, and, in some cases, more cheese may be needed to reach the perfect consistency.
Recommended dipping accompaniments: Variety of breads, green apples, mixed vegetables.



Court Boullion Broth
Ingredients:
5 ½ C warm water
3 Tbsp finely chopped onion
1 Tbsp finely chopped celery
1 Tbsp chopped carrot
2 Tbsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp freshly ground pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
Preparation:
Whisk the water, onion, celery, carrot, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a bowl until combined.

Pour into a fondue pot. Bring to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat. Thread a piece of meat or vegetable on a fondue fork. Cook in the broth to the desired degree of doneness. Serve with your favorite sauce.
Recommended dipping accompaniments: Seafood, beef, ravioli and gourmet veggies.



Dark Chocolate Raspberry Fondue
Ingredients:
12 Oz. dark chocolate, finely chopped
¼ C heavy cream
3 Tbsp raspberry liqueur
Preparation:
Combine the chocolate and cream in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Heat until the chocolate is melted, stirring constantly; or combine the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring every 30 to 45 seconds. Be careful not to let the chocolate burn. Pour into a warm fondue pot. Drizzle with the liqueur. Keep fondue warm over low heat.
Recommended dipping accompaniments: Rice crispie treats, pound cake, brownie bites, strawberries, raspberries, bananas, cheesecake, marshmallows.


Hope these help enjoy

We had the beer chedder cheese when we went and it was so good, for our chocolate dip we did just regular milk chocolate and Bailey's Irish Cream and Oh God we thought we were in heaven. They have a cookbook you can buy from them at their website and it has alot of the recipes from the restaraunt in it. I'm still looking for a good fondue set that can do cheese, meat, and chocolate, once I get it I'm ordering that book and some of the seasoning and doing a special night for me and the hubby.

The cookbook is only $29.95 but I think it would be worth the investment if you really like the food.
