FONDUE

I got a fondue pot for my engagement party, i tried to use it, and i put the chocolate chips in the pot to melt it, but it burned FAST.. of course i threw out the instructions.. does anyone know what i did wrong or how to use this?

THANKS

What kind of pot are you using? (stainless, non stick, etc)
We usually melt/cook on stove for a little bit first then place on the fondue stand-- do you have a tealight burner or small sterno?
I have a few simple recipes if you are interested

I love fondue!

I also melt the chocolate on the stove first. Just a package of chocolate chips and a pint of heavy cream makes a great fondue.

I always make it on the stove and only transfer to the pot for dipping. You have to stir frequently or it'll burn (especially important with cheese).
