How do you cook meat in a fondue pot without using oil? | Work Wasters
The normal use of a fondu pot is NOT to cook foods. Its main purpose is to keep gravies, sauces and other liquid seasoning mediulms (barbeque, terreaki, etc.) hot. The meats should already be completely cooked (and mildly seasoned) and cut into cubes or pieces of managable sized pieces.
Trying to use a fondu pot as a deep fryer is dangerous with the close proximity of hot oil and open flame. It can even be used to liquify jams & jellies for fondu style deserts.
As you use the fondu pot you will think of a whole range of uses for it’s unique abilities from melting chocolate to cheese sauces to a variety of meat toppings, e.g., Sweet & Sour Sauce or Hickory Smoke Barbeque
For health reasons the meats to be skewered and dipped into the fondu should be kept in covered containers that are maintained at not less than 160 degrees Farenhiet. Hot foods should always be kept above 160 and cold foods below 40 to prevent possibility of spoilage and/or food poisioning
