SUGGESTED TEMPERATURES FOR FONDUES
The temperature settings below are suggestions, and may need to be adjusted up or down according to initial temperature of ingredients being cooked, and amount of food being dipped or cooked at any given time.
FONDUE COOKING/ PREPARATION SERVING/ COOKING
Chocolate Fondues
Heat cream/liquid until it reaches a slow boil on Setting 4½–5. Reduce temperature to Setting 3½–4 to gradually add chocolate to simmering liquid.
Hold chocolate fondues at Setting 3 for serving.
Cheese Fondues
Cook finely chopped onions and other aromatic vegetables for flavoring at Setting 5½–6. Increase temperature to Setting 6½ to add liquids and bring to slow boil. Reduce heat to Setting 4½–5 to gradually add shredded cheeses.
Hold cheese fondues for serving at Setting 3.
Broth Fondues
Sauté finely chopped onions, other aromatic vegetables, and herbs/spices for flavoring the broth at Setting 5–6. Add liquid and bring to a boil at Setting 7. Reduce the heat to Setting 3½ to simmer broth.
Hold broth-based fondues for serving at Setting 3 ^1/2 -4.
Oil Fondues
Heat oil at Setting 7½ for 10–15 minutes until oil is barely bubbling and tests at 375°F when tested with a candy/deep fry thermometer, or a 1-inch cube of bread is cooked to a golden, toasty brown. If maximum quantities of cold food are added simultaneously, it may be necessary to increase temperature from Setting 7½ to 8.
Adjust temperature setting as needed to maintain oil temperature.
TIPS & HINTS
When making fondue, use a wine or beer that you would prefer drinking. Taste and flavor are important – if you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it. The same holds true for liquors and liqueurs. A Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio is a good choice for making cheese fondue. Champagne or Prosecco is another good choice. Chardonnays and red wines are not recommended for fondue cooking because the taste of chardonnay can be overwhelming and red wine lacks color appeal.
Foods for dipping should not be left at room temperature for longer than 2 hours. For safety, present raw meats, poultry, and seafood in a shallow bowl over a bed of ice to keep properly chilled. Remove any ice crystals or excess water before cooking in fondue pot.
Cook no more than 8 pieces of food at one time to ensure thorough cooking and to prevent splashing.
Dipping foods should be cut into bite-sized pieces. Meats can be cut into cubes or into strips.
Blanch or gently steam vegetables to make them tender for dipping into fondues. This will set the color, and will help them to cook or heat through more quickly. Vegetables such as green beans, broccoli and cauliflower should be crisp to tender. New potatoes should be steamed until tender but still firm. There is no need to precook green onions or bell pepper strips.
Fondue dipping sauces can be served in bowls with ladles so a small amount of sauce can be placed on each dining plate, or individual ramekins can be used for each diner.
To serve fondue at the dining table, set fondue pot in the center of the table on a trivet. It may be a good idea to cover the table with a protector and tablecloth, as there may be dripping.
To serve fondue, give each diner a dinner plate, a fondue fork and a dinner fork along with a large napkin.
Fondue etiquette indicates that the food should not be eaten from the fondue fork, but transferred first to the diner's own fork. Fondue
forks are very sharp and also get very hot when in oil or broth. If a dipping sauce gets on a fondue fork, it can “contaminate” the oil or broth, causing a burnt or “off” taste.
Diners should never “double dip” and place the bitten portion of a piece of food back into the communal fondue pot.
CHOCOLATE FONDUE
When preparing chocolate fondue, be sure to use the best chocolate available for optimum flavor.
Chop your own chocolate quickly in the Cuisinart® Food Processor. Place 1-inch or smaller pieces of chilled chocolate in the work bowl fitted with the metal blade and process until finely chopped.
Take care not to allow your chocolate fondues to come to a boil.
If chocolate fondue begins to “break” or separate into chocolate with any liquid that is oily in appearance, the fondue can be rescued by using a Cuisinart® Hand Blender on low speed, directly in the Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot. Blend, using a gentle up and down motion, keeping the blender under the top surface of the fondue until it returns to a homogenous mixture.
CHEESE FONDUE
Cut crusty bread for dunking into 1-inch cubes – always include a side of crust on each bread cube. The bread is speared on a fondue fork, and then swirled into the cheese in a “figure eight” type motion to coat. The fork prongs should not ever touch the bottom or sides of the Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot – they will scratch the nonstick surface.
Begin cheese fondues by heating wine, beer or other liquid until it reaches a boil.
Then reduce heat to a simmer and slowly add shredded cheeses while stirring until the cheese melts completely.
Take care not to allow cheese fondue to come to a boil.
If cheese fondue begins to “break” or separate into cheese with liquid that is oily in appearance, the fondue can be rescued by using a Cuisinart® Hand Blender on low speed,
directly in the Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot. Blend, using a gentle up and down motion, keeping the blender under the top surface of the fondue until it returns to a homogenous mixture.
Do not purchase expensive already grated cheeses. You will have a greater variety and better quality available if you grate your own – use your Cuisinart® Food Processor fitted with the medium (4mm) shredding disc to quickly shred less costly blocks of cheeses.
BROTH FONDUE
When making a broth fondue, use a homemade stock that has been strained, or a purchased stock or broth that is flavorful, but low in sodium – a high-sodium stock will become more concentrated as the evening progresses.
Season broths with fresh ginger, green onions, spices, or fresh herbs for flavorful dipping. Have additional hot stock/broth available to add to the fondue pot as necessary.
OIL FONDUE
For oil fondues, use a flavorless vegetable oil. Heat oil to 375^ F using setting 712 . This will take about 10 to 15 minutes – a one-inch cube of bread will fry to golden brown in about 45 seconds when the oil is ready. Use no more than 312 cups oil.
Season meats for oil fondues after frying – the hot meat will absorb the seasoning and the seasoning will not flavor the oil for other diners.

CHEESE FONDUES
CLASSIC CHEESE FONDUE
Makes 6–8 servings
1 pound Gruyère cheese (not processed), grated
^3/_4 pound Emmenthal cheese, grated
6 teaspoons cornstarch
1 12 teaspoons dry mustard
1 clove garlic, peeled, cut in half
2¼ cups dry white wine (not chardonnay)
2½ tablespoons Kirschwasser
Place the grated cheeses in a large bowl and toss to combine. Add the cornstarch and dry mustard and toss to coat the grated cheese completely. Reserve.
Rub the bottom and lower half of the sides of Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot with the cut sides of the garlic clove. Pour the wine into the fon-due pot. Turn the temperature to Setting 5 and bring the wine to a strong simmer (bubbling, but not boiling strongly). While stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or nonstick whisk, gradually whisk in the grated cheeses, sprinkling in one handful at a time; don't add any more cheese until each handful is completely melted and smooth. The mixture will slowly thicken. When all the cheese has been added, stir in the Kirschwasser and serve. Reduce the tempera-ture setting of the fondue pot to Setting 3. The fondue should just simmer; it should never boil.
This fondue is traditionally served with cubes of crusty bread. For a change you may also serve blanched to crisp-tender vegetables or cooked but firm new potatoes.
PESTO CHEESE FONDUE
Makes 8 servings
1 pound part-skim mozzarella cheese (not handmade fresh), shredded
8 ounces Italian Fontina, shredded
6 ounces provolone, shredded
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 ounce shallot, peeled, chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled, chopped
2 cups dry white wine (Pinot Grigio)
6 tablespoons pesto
(homemade or purchased)
crusty bread cubes for dipping
fresh vegetables for dipping – blanched flowerets of broccoli or cauliflower, sliced carrots, zucchini wedges; raw strips of red or yellow bell peppers
Place cheeses in a large bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch; toss to completely coat. Reserve.
Heat the olive oil in the Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot using Setting 5½ - 6. Cook the chopped shallot and garlic until tender and just golden, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Reduce the temperature to Setting 3½. Gradually add the cornstarch-coated shredded cheese, one handful at a time, while stirring with a plastic or coated whisk. Add the cheese slowly, allowing it to melt and blend completely before adding more. Do not rush. When cheese has been completely added, stir in the pesto.
Keep the temperature Setting at 3 to serve the fondue. The fondue should just simmer; it should never boil.
Serve with crusty bread cubes and vegetables, if desired.
CHEDDAR, ONION, APPLE & HARD CIDER FONDUE
Makes 8 servings
1½ pounds shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
2½ tablespoons cornstarch
12 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 ounce chopped shallot
12 cup finely diced tart apple
2½ cups hard cider, divided
Cubes of crusty bread
Apple wedges (toss in lemon juice to prevent from turning brown)
Place the shredded cheese in a large bowl and sprinkle with the cornstarch and dry mustard; toss to coat.
Heat the butter in the Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot using Setting 3½. Cook the shallot and apple in the butter until tender and golden, about 3–4 minutes. Add 2 cups of the hard cider and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to Setting 3–4, and with the cider simmering, gradually add the shredded cheese, a handful at a time, while whisking with a plastic or coated whisk. If mixture seems too thick, whisk in more of the reserved cider as needed. To serve, keep the temperature set at Setting 3.
Serve with crusty bread or wedges of tart apple.
BRIE & MUSHROOM FONDUE
^3/4 ounce mixed dried exotic or porcini mushrooms
1 cup boiling water
1½ pounds Brie*
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ounce shallot, peeled
6 ounces mushrooms, cleaned and halved
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2½ cups dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc recommended)
Rinse the dried mushrooms and place in a small bowl. Cover with boiling water and let stand 20 minutes, until softened. Drain, squeeze dry, and chop finely. Reserve.
Use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the rind from the Brie. Cut or tear into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss with cornstarch and refrigerate while preparing the remainder of the recipe.
Insert the metal blade in the Cuisinart® Food Processor. With the machine running, drop the shallot through the small feed tube and process for 5 seconds to chop. Scrape the work bowl and add the mushrooms; pulse until finely chopped, about 20 pulses.
Melt the butter in the Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot using Setting 4½–5½. Add the chopped shallots and fresh mushrooms. Stir and cook the mushrooms until they give up their liquid and are lightly browned, about 3–4 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to Setting 3½–4½ and gradually stir in the cornstarch-coated Brie bits, a handful at a time, stirring constantly with a plastic or coated whisk. Stir and blend completely before adding the next handful.
When all the cheese has been added, stir in the minced rehydrated mushrooms.
Serve with crusty bread cubes.
*For ease, cut into wedges and freeze for 30 minutes before starting this recipe.

Put the shredded cheeses into a large bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch and cumin. Toss the cheese with the cornstarch to coat.
Rub the Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot with the cut garlic halves. Pour 2 ^1/4 cups of the beer into the fondue pot and heat, using Setting 5, until beer begins to boil. Lower the heat to setting 4 ^1/2 and gradually add the cheese, one handful at a time, whisking while adding the cheese. Stir the cheese and allow it to melt completely before each addition. When the cheese has completely melted, stir in the drained salsa and tequila. Keep the fondue warm at Setting 3 to serve.
MEAT/SEAFOOD FONDUES
SEAFOOD BOUILLABAISSE FONDUE
Makes 6 to 8 servings
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced thinly
1 pound fresh mussels, cleaned and bearded*
1 pinch saffron threads
2 cups dry white wine or vermouth
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 to 4 large sprigs fresh basil
1 cup water
1 pound very large shrimp (16–20 count), peeled, deveined, cut in half lengthwise
1 pound sea scallops, dried, tough muscle removed
1 crusty baguette, about 1 pound, cut into cubes for dunking
Heat oil in the Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot on setting 4½. Add the sliced garlic, and cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add mussels, saffron, and wine to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mussels are opened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove mussels from bowl. Add salt, tomato purée, basil, and water to bowl. Raise the temperature to Setting 6 and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature to Setting 3½, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove mussels from their shells; discard mussel shells.
Remove basil from sauce. If sauce is too thick, thin with a little water. To serve Seafood Bouillabaisse Fondue, skewer shrimp, scallops, or mussels onto fondue forks and dip into Bouillabaisse Sauce. Cook shrimp and scallops until they are firm but not tough. Cook mussels just to heat through; they are already cooked and will toughen with too much heat. Skewer and dip cubes of crusty baguette in sauce.
Suggested dipping sauce: Olive Tapenade Aioli (recipe on page 15)
*Fresh mussels should have tightly closed shells when purchased, or those that are slightly opened should close shut when tapped. Store in refrigerator until ready to use. To clean mussels, place in a bowl of cold water with about 14 cup cornmeal, swirl gently, and let stand for 20 minutes – this will help the mussels to expel
any sandy grit. Remove the “beard” by pulling on the byssal threads that are coming out of the shell. Lift out of the water, leaving the cornmeal and
grit in the bottom of the bowl, and dry on several layers of paper towels before cooking.
CHICKEN STOCK WITH STAR ANISE FONDUE

WARRANTY
Limited 3-YEAR WARRANTY
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot that was purchased at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners.
We warrant that your Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the date of original purchase.
We recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration. However, product registration does not eliminate the need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.
If your Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service, simply call our toll-free number 1-800-726-0190 for additional information from our Customer Service Representatives, or send the defective product to Customer Service at Cuisinart, 7475 North Glen Harbor Blvd., Glendale, AZ 85307.

NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any Cuisinart® product that is being returned, we recommend you use a traceable, insured delivery service. Cuisinart cannot be held responsible for in-transit damage or for packages that are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged products are not covered under warranty. Please be sure to include your return address, daytime phone number, description of the product defect, product model

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY:
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store which sells Cuisinart products of the same type.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer's prior usage of the product. If the above two options do not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.
California residents may also, according to their preference, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary, replacement, by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190.
Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for such products under warranty.

If you are experiencing problems with your Cuisinart® product, we suggest that you call our Cuisinart® Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 before returning the product for service. If servicing is needed, a Representative can confirm whether the product is under warranty and direct you to the nearest service location.
Your Cuisinart® Electric Fondue Pot has been manufactured to the strictest specifications and has been designed for use only in 120-volt outlets and only with authorized accessories and replacement parts.

repair service other than those authorized by Cuisinart. This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment or other than ordinary household use.
