3
Wash and dry fruits and vegetables. Cut into smaller pieces if necessary.

4
Cut meat into cubes. These will be cooked in very hot peanut oil so cut the cubes large enough so that they do not slip off your fondue skewer.

Cut cake that is to be to be dipped in the chocolate fondue. Store-bought pound cake is a good choice as it is dense and holds up well in the dipping process.

Fill your fondue pots with the appropriate ingredients to start the heating process--peanut oil for meat, cheese for bread and veggies and chocolate for fruits and cake. Make certain that all melting pot ingredients are completely melted and ready for dipping by the time your guests arrive.
