heat oil.
2. Do not cover the saucepan with a lid during
heating to avoid overheating of the splash
protection lid.

must not splash or smoke.
4. Do not use the oil more than 3-4 times.
Used oil is foaming, smells rancid and
become thicker.
5. Always replace the complete quantity of oil.
Do not mix used and fresh oil.
6. Do not mix different types of oil and fat.
7. Only use lean and tender meat. Cut the meat
into uniform, not too big pieces.

it for fondue.
9. The meat and all other food for fondue must
be dried thoroughly to avoid splashes of hot
oil when dipping the meat into the oil.
