Instructions
1. Set the fondue pot on a solid, flat, heat-resistant surface that is stable and out of reach of small children.
2. Use only alcohol that is denatured or liquid fuel made specifically for fondue pots. Only use about three ounces of the fluid to avoid excess flames which can cause a fire hazard. If any fluid is spilled, be sure to immediately wipe away with a wet rag. Set the burner firmly in the fondue stand.
3. Pour the desired liquid into the pot. Use oils or broths for meats, and wine for cheeses. Set the pot on the burner followed by a splatter shield to keep grease from popping out and burning someone.
4. Light the center hole of the burner using a match, not a lighter.
5. Adjust the flame height with the burner handle. There are small holes on the cover that you choose the amount of exposure. Select more holes for larger flames or fewer holes for smaller flames. It is always a good idea to keep the flames as low as possible to avoid scorching.
6. Use a fondue fork, one per guest, to place the meat, cheese or fruits into the fondue pot and have the guests cook the items to their liking.
7. Put the burner cover over the flame to extinguish it when you are finished cooking and allow the fondue to pot to sit until completely cooled.
