When the meat is finished cooking in the oil, it is placed on a small plate where you can dip each piece of cooked meat in a pre-prepared sauce. Meat fondue recipes can also be prepared as broth fondue, replacing the oil with your favorite broth—chicken, vegetable, or beef—to name a few. Below, I have provided a very systematic way of preparing and eating meat fondue recipes. Hope you find this helpful!

Fondue pots are made specifically for a range of different purposes. Stainless steel, aluminum, copper and silver plates or sterling silver utensils are commonly used for oil and meat fondue dishes where enamel-coated cast iron or ceramic utensils are used for cheese or chocolate fondues .

In my opinion, the point of view is the sturdiness in the construction of the ***. If you're looking for an all-purpose container that can be used for more than an oil fondant, make sure the unit has the capacity to be able to accommodate the heat source. Fondue Bourguignon is a traditional meat fondue recipe. The pan used for this is wide at the base and curves upwards. Why? Because it eliminates some of the spattering that happens when raw meat hits the hot oil and the shape helps it hold the heat. Most bourguignon pots are 1 1/2 to 2-quart capacity. What if you don't have a buff*** or don't want to spend money on one? You can always improvise with any good heating unit that burns denatured alcohol, canned heat or butane. The container for the oil can be any saucepan or chafing dish. It should be one that is at least 3 1/2 inches deep and no more than about 8 inches in diameter. If it has straight sides and possibly curves inward at the top, even better. Like a bourguignon pan, it minimizes splattering and holds heat. Some other items used with fondue pots: Fondue Forks and Plates are designed for cooking and serving meat fondue dishes and are available in a wide range of ingredients, shapes, sizes, colors and, of course, price ranges. Long bamboo skewers can be used instead of forks. The disadvantages are that it is sometimes difficult to put the meat or bread on the skewer during cooking and the oil can get so hot that you risk getting too close to it and burning yourself. Fondue forks are long -- at least 10 inches long -- and have insulated tips for protection from burning when using oil or broth fondue. The tines on the thorns should be moderate in length and not made of flimsy materials. Many places that sell fondue pots and their accessories will provide a set of forks with different colored handles for each. It works just like the little doo-dads we attach to wine glasses for identification purposes. There's also a fun fondue game you can play to get the party started. Fondue plates are special because they have small indentations built into them for sauces and a larger section for meat. They're convenient and nice, but not necessary.
