Tips & Warnings

All meat should be cut into small bite-size pieces.
Keep your broth boiling at all times. If the temperate drops, transfer the broth mixture to a saucepan and heat it over the stove top until it's hot enough.
Tradition says that if anyone who drops a piece of food into the fondue pot must either buy the next bottle of wine or plant a kiss on someone of the opposite sex.
