Fondue Etiquette

If you are new fondue parties, or you are simply trying to brush up on your dipping manners, here are a few tips for the next time you're mingling around the fondue pot.

Fon-Do's

Fondue pots are usually held at about 200 degrees, so be sure to let your fondue cool slightly after you have dipped your treat in the fondue pot.
Always use a skewer or fondue fork for dipping. You may be tempted to dip a piece of bread into the fondue pot just using your hands. Not only can you burn yourself doing this, but it is also unsanitary.
Always gently twirl whatever you have dipped so the cheese coats it. This will also prevent any cheese from dripping off the morsel as you try to eat it.
If you are using bread for your fondue, always select a crusty piece. The crust will help keep the bread on the fork, and it is less likely to fall into the fondue pot.

Fon-Don't's

Never "double-dip." This is a long-standing rule of party etiquette, and it is no different for a fondue party.
Never blow on your fondue fork to cool it down. It is best to let it cool naturally for a moment. Blowing on your fondue can cause cheese to splatter on other partygoers.
Never let your teeth or lips touch the fondue fork. If you are having trouble with this, use a second fork to remove the morsel from your fork and place it on a plate.
