Cheese Fondue

Tips:
   1. Make sure everything is prepped before you turn the stove on.  
   2. Don't try and make the fondue in the pot. Do it on the stove first and transfer to the fondue pot after it's prepared.
   3. Do not leave the cheese unattended after you've started - it will either clump, scorch or curdle if you walk away - don't know why, but it always. 

Ingredients:
2 lbs. Grated Cheese (I prefer White Cheddar).
4 Cups Melting Liquid (This can be sparkling cider, or beverage of your choice that starts with a "B" and ends with an "R".)
4 Tbsp. Corn Starch
Hot Sauce to Taste
Garlic Powder to Taste

Directions:
1. Heat the melting liquid over a medium high flame. 
2. Take half of the cheese and toss in a separate bowl with the corn starch. (Keep the rest of the cheese in reserve.) 
3. When the melting liquid is simmering, add the cheese that has been tossed with the corn starch.  
4. Stirring until it has melted and been incorporated.  
5. Add in the rest of the cheese and the hot sauce and garlic powder to your taste preferences.  
6. Never add more cheese until the previous addition has been melted and incorporated.  Bring up to a melting point.  
7. Transfer to a fondue pot over a flame to keep warm. 
8. Stir the pot as necessary to prevent scorching.
