MEAT FONDUE ON TREND: THE MAGIC OF COOKING TOGETHER

Meat fondue is an experience that appeals to all the senses and brings people together. Here, everyone becomes a chef. The boundary between host and guest melts away, creating an analogue connection in a digital world. So what are you waiting for? Enchant your guests with an unforgettable fondue evening!

THE HEART OF THE FONDUE: THE CHOICE OF MEAT

It all starts with the meat. But not every piece is suitable for this special experience. Fillet pieces of beef, pork, veal and chicken are particularly flavoursome. Lamb fillet and game cuts such as venison fillet or saddle of venison offer stronger flavours.

Price-conscious gourmets go for beef rump, pork shoulder, chicken breast and veal shoulder.

Bonus tip: Cut the meat into even, slightly thicker slices (for stock) or thumb-sized cubes (for oil) and find the right cooking point. This will turn every bite into a flavourful moment of pleasure.

THE ART OF SEASONING: LESS IS MORE

When it comes to meat fondue, it is usually restraint in the seasoning that brings out the true flavour of the meat. A touch of salt and pepper can work wonders without masking the flavour.

Remember: the true flavour experience only comes from the interplay of meat, oil or stock and the accompanying sauces.

OIL OR BOUILLON - THE FLAVOUR DECIDES

The Swiss classic remains the fondue chinoise inspired by the Asian hot pot. Thanks to the bouillon, it is a little lighter, but no less succulent and flavourful.

The classic choice is a hearty beef bouillon. Chicken stock is a light yet full-flavoured alternative. Asian broths enriched with soya sauce, ginger or garlic provide a spicier flavour.

The magic of fondue bourguignonne, on the other hand, lies in the slightly crispy crust formed by the oil.

Oils that remain smokeless even at high temperatures are recommended for this. Peanut oil is ideal. Neutral sunflower and rapeseed oil are also suitable. Grape seed oil, which gives the meat a light, nutty flavour, is more special.

Bonus tip: Try a Bacchus fondue, in which the meat is cooked in an aromatic red wine broth with herbs - an elegant change from the classic variations.

SAUCES & CO.: MORE THAN JUST SIDE DISHES

As the final component, sauces and garnishes add the finishing touch to the perfect meat fondue. After all, it is the combination of different flavours that creates that special taste sensation.

Be bold when it comes to sauces: in addition to creamy aioli, fruity cranberry foam or spicy mustard sauce, try Argentinian chimichurri or a smoky barbecue sauce.

Finally, the sauces are accompanied by crunchy vegetables, flavoursome potatoes and fresh salads. They all provide the perfect contrast to the succulent meat.

THE PERFECT ACCOMPANIMENT: THE BEST DRINKS FOR MEAT FONDUE

Still wondering which drinks to serve your guests with a successful meat fondue?

Wine lovers choose strong red wines such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir, which complement the intense meat flavours wonderfully.

Non-alcoholic red grape juice and apple juice go well. Or serve black tea such as Darjeeling with oil fondue or green tea such as Sencha or jasmine with bouillon fondue.

THE RIGHT FONDUE SET: ACCESSORIES & EYE-CATCHERS

In addition to good ingredients, a successful fondue evening also needs the right equipment. If you have an induction hob, make sure you have an induction-compatible fondue set for heating stock or oil. Marked forks also allow each guest to cook their meat individually.

Our ZERMATT meat fondue set creates a warm atmosphere with its matt chrome steel and wooden accents on the rechaud and forks. While the new ENGELBERG set scores with style and elegance with its shiny chrome steel and modern elements. Find the meat fondue set that suits you.

SECURITY: THE INVISIBLE GUEST

Despite all the fun and socialising, safety must not be neglected. With a few simple precautions, your fondue evening will not only be delicious, but also worry-free.

Place the fondue set on a stable surface, away from curious children's hands or wagging dogs' tails. Treat hot oil or broth with respect, but without fear. Finally, opt for tested safety fuel paste. This will make every fondue evening a safe pleasure.

MEAT FONDUE: A FEAST FOR ALL THE SENSES

A meat fondue is more than just a meal - it's a culinary journey with loved ones. It's the warmth of the pot on a cold evening and the cosiness that fills the whole group.

With the right ingredients, a little preparation and the perfect equipment, your next fondue evening will be an unforgettable experience. Immerse yourself in the wonderful world of meat fondue and let yourself be enchanted by the magic of cooking and savouring together!
