- Hey, y'all come on in,
0:02
because it's Valentine's in my mind,
0:06
especially for the next few days.
0:08
I'm gonna be wearing my Valentine shirt,
0:10
with my hearts on it.
0:12
I've already got messed up.
0:16
Only wear this once a year, so this is that time of year.
0:20
Now, I'm going to share with y'all,
0:23
which is something that I think's so much fun,
0:26
especially for Valentines.
0:28
If you're sitting across from your significant other,
0:31
your husband, your wife, your girlfriend,
0:33
your grandchildren, whomever,
0:35
you're sharing this with, it's just so much fun.
0:39
And it became a big thing, I remember, in 1966 and '67.
0:46
It was all about fondues,
0:49
and there's different kinds of fondues that you can do.
0:53
You can do the sweet, or you can do the savory.
0:56
I know my oldest grandson Jack loves, loves fondue,
1:02
and there's a place here in town, right?
1:05
That-
1:06
- [Teresa] Yes, ma'am.
1:07
- You fondue at your table.
1:08
- [Teresa] The Melting Pot.
1:09
- The Melting Pot.
1:10
That's a good name for it, isn't it?
1:12
- [Eddie] That is one of Jack's-
1:13
- It is one of Jack's favorite places.
1:17
And so today I'm gonna share with y'all an easy,
1:22
easy way to do the chocolate fondue.
1:26
So I've got one cup of heavy cream, and I'm gonna pour it
1:31
into my pan, and y'all,
1:34
I've just got to say for a second,
1:37
this is my newest set of pots and pans,
1:40
and I just love them.
1:43
They,
1:45
I insisted that they all had a pour spout,
1:49
because it's so aggravating to have
1:53
a solid, perfectly round pot,
1:57
and you're trying to pour it into a small space.
2:00
So this is one of the things- uh-oh.
2:04
This is one of the things that I insisted on,
2:08
if we could do it, was making those pour spouts.
2:11
Now, I've just poured one cup of heavy cream into my pot.
2:19
Oh, and I didn't tell you where you could get these
2:21
if you're interested, if you need a new set of pots
2:23
and pans at a reasonable price.
2:27
These are good ones, and you can see,
2:28
I asked for a dimpled pattern, which to me,
2:33
that doesn't show as many scratches and wear and tear
2:36
as a solid does, but you can go to the Amazon store,
2:43
Paula Deen, and find these,
2:45
and they're in all of our gift stores.
2:46
If y'all are visiting one
2:49
of Paula Deen's Family Kitchen Restaurants,
2:51
you can find 'em there,
2:53
and they come in all different colors.
2:55
For my kitchen preference,
2:58
I use, I like the silver and the blue,
3:03
and the blue cookware is the color
3:05
of my air fryer over there, so.
3:09
Anyway, back to this,
3:10
I'm heating up one cup of heavy whipping cream.
3:15
Now, we don't want this to boil.
3:17
We're not gonna bring it to a boil,
3:19
so it'll take a few minutes,
3:20
because I've got it on low heat.
3:23
And then we're gonna add milk chocolate,
3:27
because I love and adore milk chocolate.
3:31
So to that, we're gonna add two teaspoons of Grand Marnier,
3:38
and this is gonna give it the nicest orange flavor.
3:44
And I have here fresh strawberries
3:48
that have been washed and dried.
3:51
I have pound cake, little bites of pound cake,
3:56
or you could do a cookie, whatever you happen to have.
3:59
And I love the pineapple.
4:04
I'm gonna watch this closely,
4:05
because I don't want it to boil.
4:09
So fonduing is just that easy,
4:13
and it's a very interactive way to have dessert,
4:17
or even have a meal.
4:19
Michael and I both like the ones where you make
4:23
a broth, and put your meat in 'em, cook your meat in it.
4:27
Those are good too.
4:28
And sauces, you know?
4:31
You gotta have some good, good sauces.
4:34
And I hope to be sharing some recipes with y'all soon
4:38
for tips on fonduing,
4:45
because one of the ladies that works,
4:49
and actually does the editing and works,
4:53
she leads up our social media part of the company,
4:58
and they are big fonduers.
5:00
She said her father-in-law has got
5:04
an A-plus on fonduing skills.
5:09
So I said, "Okay, you tell your father-in-law,"
5:15
bless you, "to send some good tips."
5:18
All right, y'all well, this is kind of starting to smoke
5:21
a little bit, so I'm gonna go ahead and add
5:25
our milk chocolate, and I suggest that you chop
5:30
your chocolate, because it'll melt quicker,
5:35
and more uniform.
5:39
So I'm gonna stir this constantly
5:43
to keep it from coming to a boil.
5:48
And then I'll lower the temperature even more,
5:51
because after we get this all mixed together,
5:54
we're gonna put it in our fondue pot,
5:56
and
5:59
we're gonna break some bread together, aren't we?
6:02
- I'm gonna turn this to warm.
6:03
- Please do.
6:04
- Just so it will be ready.
6:06
- Please do, please.
6:08
- And the nice thing is on the fondue pot, it tells you.
6:11
Your chocolate, you warm to 200.
6:14
- Oh, that's good.
6:15
- Cheese goes higher.
6:16
- Okay, it's starting to come together,
6:20
and that chocolate is melting and blended in
6:23
to that heavy cream.
6:39
Love milk chocolate.
6:42
Love it, love it, love it.
6:45
All right, so how long does it take for that to get warm?
6:49
- [Teresa] Oh, I think it'll be fine once you're ready.
6:50
- Well, I'm gonna go ahead and add
6:54
the liqueur,
6:59
and it calls for two teaspoons.
7:02
Three teaspoons equals a tablespoon,
7:04
so I'm gonna use a tablespoon, and just go, not quite
7:08
to the top, so that's equal out to two teaspoons.
7:16
- [Teresa] It's al ready for you.
7:17
- It is ready?
7:18
Well, this is really for you.
7:22
So,
7:25
now, normally we would plug this in
7:29
where we were gonna sit and eat,
7:31
so everybody could reach it.
7:33
Whoa!
7:35
Did you hear that sizzling, Teresa?
7:40
Is this your fondue at your house,
7:42
or is it one you brought for-
7:43
- [Teresa] I got that for this one.
7:45
I did used to have fondue pots.
7:47
- I used to have one too.
7:48
- [Teresa] I'm like Jack.
7:49
I used to go to a fondue restaurant
7:51
for my birthday every year.
7:53
- Really?
7:54
- [Eddie] I've never been.
7:56
(overlapping chatter)
7:57
- We'll have to go get, pick up Jack one night,
7:59
and get him to teach us the ropes, Eddie.
8:03
- [Eddie] Yeah.
8:04
- [Teresa] I'm coming.
8:05
- All right, so here is the things that we've selected
8:09
to dip into our fondue.
8:14
And your fondue pots come with your skewers.
8:21
That's hard to say.
8:23
And each of them are a different color on the end,
8:27
and we need to use this, especially today,
8:29
with different viruses running around.
8:33
So you know your color, and you don't use anybody else's
8:38
but the one you're supposed to be using,
8:40
which is your color.
8:41
All right, because I'm wearing red,
8:43
I'm gonna pick the red one.
8:46
What color do you want?
8:47
- [Teresa] I'm going with pink.
8:48
- Okay.
8:49
- [Teresa] Ooh, look, it's bubbling.
8:51
You might want to turn it down.
8:52
Great day!
8:53
That pot works- - I'm gonna turn it off.
8:57
Eddie, you're white.
9:00
- [Eddie] Or red.
9:01
- [Teresa] He just took your red.
9:02
- [Eddie] Oh, you're red.
9:03
- Oh. (laughing)
9:04
- [Eddie] Or is it, I dunno what I want.
9:06
- [Paula] Oh, you don't want white.
9:07
Okay. - [Eddie] I want green.
9:08
(Eddie laughing)
9:09
- [Teresa] I tried to pick Valentine's Day colors in here.
9:12
He goes off on his own.
9:13
(Eddie and Paula laughing)
9:14
- All right, y'all, there's a good chance
9:17
that you're gonna be having to turn this off and on,
9:22
'cause you don't want it to boil,
9:24
unless you're doing the savory,
9:27
and then you want that broth good and hot
9:29
so it won't literally fly, (chuckles)
9:33
fry your food.
9:36
That's tough to say all those F's.
9:38
So I'm gonna start with pineapple.
9:40
What would y'all like?
9:42
- [Teresa] I'm gonna do poundcake.
9:43
- [Paula] Mm oh, ooh.
9:48
So I'd love to hear from y'all about fonduing.
9:52
Do y'all still fondue?
9:54
Is it big in your family?
9:56
And what is your favorite thing to fondue?
9:59
I'm so curious.
10:01
- [Teresa] They do all kinds of flavors.
10:02
- [Paula] Mm.
10:05
- [Teresa] Mm.
10:06
- [Paula] Mm.
10:07
All right, so now I'm gonna try the pound cake,
10:10
and the beauty of this is you don't have to
10:15
make your own cake.
10:19
They make these little frozen loaf pans of pound cake,
10:25
and those are great to keep in the freezer
10:27
to use on the fly,
10:30
although something that I love to do, if I see,
10:35
I bake a poundcake, and it's not gonna get red,
10:37
it's not gonna get eaten right away,
10:39
I'll wrap it up in maybe two slices at the time,
10:43
and put it in the freezer.
10:44
- [Teresa] Mm.
10:46
- So if you do things like that-
10:50
What do I want now?
10:53
What are y'all gonna have next?
10:57
I'm gonna go with this strawberry.
10:59
- [Teresa] And you can do bananas.
11:00
(overlapping chatter)
11:03
- Uh-oh.
11:03
- [Teresa] You can do brownie pieces.
11:05
- Yes, there's so many things.
11:06
That's why I'm asking people out there, you know?
11:09
People out there, they've got such great imaginations,
11:15
and I'd love to hear from y'all, 'cause I'm curious.
11:22
Chocolate and strawberries just go together, don't they?
11:26
So happy Valentine's Day.
11:29
Whoever you're sharing it with, I hope they love it.
11:32
- [Teresa] Mm.
11:33
- Mm, mm.
