Notes
- *We prefer Bud Light in our fondue, as that is what we've had when dining at Melting Pot. That said you can use other beers, or even a chicken broth or stock if desired.
- *Different fondue pots cook at different heat levels. We usually turn our fondue pot down to low, and if cheese starts to thicken while we are eating, we turn it up briefly, just long enough to thin it back down, then we turn the heat down again.
