Instructions
 

  • Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a pan on the stove until shimmering hot (about 350/375 F). Carefully transfer hot oil to the fondue pot over a burner. Use the burner flame to adjust the temperature of the oil while cooking.

  • Serve ingredients around the oil fondue pot so that all of the items are within arms reach of the hot pot and the serving plates. Take care to keep cooking skewers away from eating utensils.
