Like the traditional raclette grill, the fondue set allows you to spend a convivial moment with family or friends. When the winter chills come, nothing like meeting around a meal and share a traditional fondue together. There are several types of fondue with different ingredients (cheese, meat, vegetables, fish and even chocolate). But whatever the type of fondue pot, its two main function are melting and dipping! The most popular are certainly melted cheese fondues, chocolate fondue and various Chinese fondues.

What to do with a fondue machine and what are the different types of fondue?

Fondues made from cheese

The cheese fondue, this culinary specialty of Swiss origin, is now the national dish of this country along with the raclette. This dish based on one or more cheeses is consumed hot. Just melt cheese and enjoy it with pieces of bread. First popular in the second half of the eighteenth century in Switzerland, it then spread in the 50s in France but also in Italy. Thus, one finds several specialties of cheese fondues different according to country and the cheeses available in the said country.

The best-known Swiss fondues are certainly the Friborg fondue (made up of 100% Vacherin Friborg), the Swiss half and half (50% Swiss and 50% Vacherin) or the Appenzellese fondue (with appenzeller cheese).

In France, we find the Savoyarde fondue (made up of Beaufort) and the Fondue Franc Comtoise (with the county). In Italy, the cheese fondues are based on Fontina cheese from the Aosta Valley.

According to the rules of food and wine pairing, the cheese fondue is usually eaten with a good white wine! White wine is often an integral part of the preparation of processed cheese.

Meat Fondue:

Bourguignonne Fondue: consisting of pieces of raw beef in hot oil (flavored and spicy), it can be enjoyed with sauces (mayonnaise, bourguignon sauce, tartare or béarnaise). Unlike one might think, this fondue recipe comes from Switzerland and not from France. It is called Bourguignonne because the meat originally used was Charolais beef from Burgundy.

The red wine fondue: beef pieces cooked in red wine. This fondue of French origin.

Fondues made from fish, meat and vegetables
