What kind of fondue fuel should I use?

A chocolate fondue requires a small tea light whereas a meat fondue needs a specific type of fondue fuel.

You melt the dipping sauce on the stove, then transfer it to your fondue pot.

Your fondue pot needs to be warm to allow your guests to dip their pieces of fruit, cake or other dippers into the tasty liquid.

Tea lights could not reach higher temperatures for meat, seafood, and vegetarian fondues.The fondue pots for hot oil fondue need a different type of fondue burner to survive high heat.

The Cuisinox burner works with both alcohol and gel fuel.

Liquid fuel or pourable gelled fondue fuel can be used for hot oil or cheese fondue.

You have to use the fondue fuel indicated by the manufacturer of your fondue burner.It could be in a liquid form, such as the blue fondue fuel below.

If your burner supports both gel and liquid fuel, you may want to use liquid alcohol fuel for hot oil and hot fondue.You can use alcohol fuel for cheese fondue, but you may want to reduce the size of the openings on your burner.
