you can keep prepared fondue
warm without the risk of scorching
or burning.

before melting fondue sauce.

and let it warm to room
temperature before melting on the
PIC. This also lessens the amount
of time the cheese will be exposed
to heat.
• Cheese is optimally melted on
Medium/Low (175°F).

chocolate melts ranges between
110˚F -120°F. Once chocolate has

hold at the perfect temperature for
fondue dipping.
• If chocolate should become
separated, add 1 teaspoon melted
butter per 4 ounces of chocolate,
then stir to reintegrate.
• Water should never come into
contact with chocolate. It may
harden and become grainy.
• When using a double boiler, make
sure no steam or condensation
seeps into chocolate.

ideas for dipping. Fruit, cakes,
fresh coconut, mini cream puffs,
mini donuts, and vanilla wafers are
all delicious, and there are many
more possibilities out there!
