Not a chemist, but my understanding is that alcohol helps dissolve the cheese fat, plus parfuming the mixture of course. Just add a shot glass of Kirsch when the cheese is thickening at the end of the meal, and you will see how quickly the mixture dissolves again.
You don't toast the bread, the reason is preferred fresh is because it absorbs the flavors. You put too much stuff on your food, just add on the cheese herbs. But anw it's your recipe!
Me and my friend Chrissy Bev had this speciality when we were on a ski educational. I can’t eat it anymore because it makes me feel extremely ill and nauseous. Must have been the Sauvignon or brandy in the sauce. Chrissy had to do first aid and take me back to the hostel as we shared a room and I lost my contact lenses . 🧪⚰️🚑🏥🙈🤪🤷🏻♀️
I'm at the same spot as you. I tried making fondue and it tasted fucking disgusting. I tasted majority white wine when I wanted melted cheese. What a waste of time. Why didn't anyone tell me fondue just tastes like fucking melted white wine?
That's the most random, wrongly done fondue I've ever seen in my life... Mustards? Baked bread? Pickled vegetables? Gouda? Fontina? Sauvignon blanc?? ... All is just completely wrong here, what just happened ':-D ? I'll prepare sushi salmon, with deep fried spinach, and a layer of jam between two slices of potatoes: let see if you call that a cheeseburger :-D
@@funkygirlkathryn To follow the classic recipes :-) I personally love the fondue done in the Savoyard style on the french side of the border: 1/3 Comte, 1/3 Emmenthal, 1/3 Beaufort. Some like to use Tomme or even Reblochon for a better texture. Cut your bread 12h ahead, or you will just spoil your delicious mixture with crumbs (what was she thinking)... Use a very dry wine like Apremont (honestly, Sauvignon is way too floral, she could probably hardly choose worst than that). Don't use Mustard or other random ingredients that sounds "Frenchy" (i.e., no frog legs neither). Use Kirsch as your brandy. Parfum the mixture with pepper and nutmeg. Drink the same white wine you used to melt the cheese, and finish yourself with Kirsch shot before a light fresh dessert. Eat a light green salad on the side, but do not dip it (wtf)! That's how you do it. This one has nothing to do with it, and should be named "how to twist cheese fondue". The original one is an ode to good cheese, good wine, and good company. Don't be stingy and go for 2 or 3 years old cheese with big nice salt chunk inside. Only then you will taste what is a real fondue. And I wish you to :-)
@@pavelvenediktov4049 cool thanks for the tips! I tried the one should showed here and was pretty decent (I used a different white wine) but I definitely want to try yours too!!
@@pavelvenediktov4049 There are no rules to what you can dip in the fondue though, as long as you like it? The toasted bread does feel wrong because it won't absorb the flavors. Gruyere, Emmental and Vacherin fribourgeois is the classic option but honestly there's no right or wrong cheese to put in.... Ok there are some but damn you have to be really stupid to add those in.
Like the dip ideas but I think the cheese mix recommended here sucks. Just heat a Chardonnay with enough flour to thicken to a cream and then dissolve in a little butter (improves the smoothness of the melt) and an equal weight of gruyere cheese. KISS.
@@anam_cara_222 . Personal taste. I think It’s the fruitiness of the wine that really contrasts with the Gruyere. I go for a fruity dry white, which is a Chardonnay bag-in-a-box but Chardonnay seems to have gone up market and is difficult to find it in that convenient packaging. I sometimes use Sauvignon blanc or a dry Riesling but they can sometimes be too acidic. A dry Colombard is nice and fruity but also difficult to find in convenient form and some think it to be inferior. In Switzerland, you can find cheese fondue already mixed and ready to eat after melting. I’m a fan of Swiss cheeses and wines.
This is the worst fondue recipe I have ever seen. Lemon juice, brandy and mustard in the fondue? This is not a classic fondue. We would never serve something like this in Switzerland.
Ummm not a real chef. Not even a cook. She takes ideas and twists them and they usually suck. And they say woman are treated unfairly. She is face for being cute and saying evoo
Ummm.... idk working in a restaurant makes me look alot at cleanliness and quality ughh what bugged me is she has a ring on her finger while mixing cheese.... then the cut on her other hand uncovered.... when i cook at home i even put my hair up dont want hair in my family's food she has a lack for hand washing too. sorry everyone for saying this🤦♀️🥺🤔
I'm sorry but what is she wearing!? The red thick sweater, the belt the bottom patten skirt!? She just sound and looks off... was she sick? And that recepie is so wrong!
I think I’m gonna whip this up for Valentine’s Day 😍😍😍
🍷Making this on NYE! 🧀
Substitute for wine?
I wish we had a trader Joe's in Australia
Why?
@@williambrennan7794 trader joes is a pretty awesome store.
It is?
Holy smokes! Looks so good! Perfect with my increased nightly wine consumption!! Bring on the cheese!!
No Swiss puts brandy, gouda, fontina and mustard in the fondue 😩
As a Swiss I feel offended.
Mustard and nutmeg ???
Where is the fondue pot?
Please if you come to Switzerland, don't expect all this stuff or this type of fondue! We just don't do
Can you use non-alcoholic wine?
The alcohol cooks off when it's simmering

Rachel Ray...Martha Stewart still be my favourite women chef in television...
This is a heart attack fondue. The Swiss must be pissed. hahaha
I love it all the chefs in the comments talking shit lmao how's yall shows going

But anw it's your recipe!
I need the names of the cheese in writing please
She used gruyere, fontina and gouda.
Friend, don cook like her, look for a genuine fondue recepie. Just google it,this is just a americanised version of a traditional swiss recepie.
😋😍
Your content needs to be in 4k
Yum
You've got no idea!
I'm from Switzerland and am shocked to see this fondue recipe which is totally WRONG! Lemon juice, brandy and mustard?? You must be kidding.
Really?
I agree it feels wrong but that's why because you are not accustomed to to it.
Americana vato
She had the pozole wrong too....wonder why but Mexicans are not happy with her! Rachel stick with what you know!
Quit acting like a crybaby you aren’t the queen of fondue
ITS THE HAIR IN THE CHEESE FOR ME 🤢
Whoo...eh...eh...Cooking with the long sleeves!🤮
I have a gag reflex when I see hair in my drinks or food ! Doesn’t matter how hungry I am I need to throw it out the whole food
This recipe is a JOKE!

Chardonnay is not a good choice. You need a dry, acidic wine to cut through the fatty cheese.

Wow, every Swiss would demonize such a recipe. This is not a fondue but a pure disaster
As a nine year old that’s smart and knows how to spell right it’s spelled broccoli not broccolini
That’s not a spelling error. Those are two different things. You’re not as smart as you think you are nine year old

Brandy = kirsch. Lemon juice is OK but no mustard
That’s not it
Never knew it was ravaged with alcohol

Once again showing she’s a food demonstrator and not a Chef.
Jesuuus thats more alcohol than i thought it would have
Sorry Rachel, so far from what real Fondue is, just too far to be honest.
