And with Christmas just around the corner, a fondue pot or chafing dish might be the perfect gift for the woman who has everything. The art of fondue cookery came to us from the Scandanavian countries and chafing dishes from the French. The chafing dish is ordinarily used for the main dish of the meal; whereas, the entire meal can be served in fondue pots The chafing dish is usually a larger vessel with a water pan under the serving dish This allows the hostess to keep the foods warm without scorching. A chafing dish is excellent for holding creamed foods and cheese and egg combinations at serving temperature for buffet parties. A fondue supper usually consists of three courses The appetizer is a warm cheese sauce which you dip chunks of crumchy French bread The main course consists of bit sized pieces of raw meat which the guests spear and cook in hot oil. Various sauces can be prepared to serve with the meat. For a bread to serve with the meat, refrigerated buttermilk rolls can be cut in fourths and deep fat fried in the same oil. The dessert course can be a chocolate or carmel sauce with fruit, cake, marshmallows and nuts to dip. The heating element varies from an alcohol burner, to canned heat or electricity. Although electric fondue pots are the most accurate it destroys some of the atmosphere that only a flame can create 1 Tableside cookery is a fascinating form of dining It offers the hostess a chance to use her imagination without spending, hours in the kitchen And your guests will enjoy the chance to do their own cooking Recipe For Carmel Fondue 1 14 oz. package carmels, two third cup light cream, to cup miniature marshmallows.
