Is fondue safe to eat while pregnant? I can't find anything that confirms or denies that!

Why wouldn't it be ok? If you're talking chocolate fondue with fruit...fine. Cheese or oil fondue with bread, meats and veggies...also just fine.

ASmallWonder · January 2013

Yes. But out of curiosity, what kind are referring to? Cheese, for sure. Chocolate, for sure. Meats yes but just as always, you have to make sure you're cooking the pieces through. What hesitation are you having?

I'm a little worried that some of the cheese recipes use a little beer in them, but I guess I was worried about cooking the raw meat in the oil and then cooking other veggies in there afterwards. Would there be any bacteria left over?

Eat.the.cheese.

I might be wrong but typically when cooking with alcohol, the alcohol content cooks off in the heat so you get the flavor without the actual alcohol

Well, for starters, they don't all have alcohol but even the ones that do are fine. It's a small amount, it cooks AND you're splitting the entire order with at least one other person, I assume. As to the bacteria, you only cook meats together (it's not like you're dipping bread in the meat cooking oil) and if the oil is hot enough to cook and kill bacteria on one thing you put in there, it's going to cook and kill bacteria IN the oil, kwim?

I went 2 weeks ago, so far, still alive

Oh Christ.

Is it pasteurized?

If its not pasteurized, is it heated until steaming?

Molten cheese is usually hot enough to steam. So, even if it isn't pasteurized you should be fine.

I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be OK.

Probably less beer than the sip or 2 I take of MHs beer every now and again.

We are going to a fondue place for my birthday next weekend. I plan on having cheese, meat, AND chocolate fondue.

It's going to be amazing.

mawendt2010 · January 2013

I'm sure it's fine. I had a miscarriage about 5 months ago, so I am paranoid about everything. I'm 8 weeks now so I'm further along than last time, I just don't want to do anything that could potentially be harmful
