Fondue Tips

Supplies:

Having a fondue party isn't like other parties: it takes particular utensils and hardware to get the job done.

Fondue melting pot
Plenty of wooden skewers: you don't want guests to re-dip the same skewer they just put in their mouth.
Lots of cocktail napkins: fondue drips quite a bit and can get messy.
Great wines to pair with the cheese

Before you start melting cheese and chocolate, there are a few fondue basics you should know.

4 Per Pot:

First, follow the cardinal rule of fondue: 3-4 people around one pot to avoid crowding. This means that you should divide your number of expected guests by 4 to figure out how many fondue pots you'll need.

Mix It Up:

Think outside the cliched pot of cheese. Create an elaborate fondue meal with different types of fondue for each course.
