b) Cheese fondue
Recipe for 4 people:
14 ozs Comté cheese, 14 ozs Beaufort cheese, 1.3lb bread (half dry), 1 teaspoon of
potato starch, 1 glass of kirsch, 1 bottle of white wine, pepper. You can rub the bowl with
some garlic before use.
• Cut the cheese and put it in the bowl.
• Put the bowl on the base of the appliance.
• Plug in the base and turn the thermostat to its “Max” position to warm it up. The pilot
light will come on, indicating that the appliance is heating. During use, this ready
light will come on and off regularly. This simply means that the thermostat is
regulating the appliance's temperature.
• Stir regularly with a wooden spoon when the cheese starts to melt and add the wine
simultaneously.
• When you have poured half of the wine, add the kirsch and the potato starch.
• Pour the rest of the wine.
• When the mixture has melted, add salt and pepper to your taste.
• Cut the (half dry) bread into pieces of 2 to 3 cm.
• Using the colour coded fondue forks, skewer the bread and place the forks carefully
into the cheese. Turn the forks in the cheese so that it sticks to the bread. It is not
necessary to use the fondue ring.
• When you remove the bread, keep turning your fork to remove the cheese strings.
• Regulate the temperature of the thermostat so that the cheese melts but does not
boil.
• Always unplug the appliance after use and let it cool down before handling or
storing it.
• Clean the bowl after each use (see "cleaning" paragraph).
CLEANING
• Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning.
• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance with a soft cloth.
• Never use abrasive products.
• Never immerse the base into water or any other liquid.

might damage the non-stick coating.
