1 garlic clove, halved

🍷Step-by-Step: Fondue in 4 Moves
Rub & Prep
Rub the inside of a fondue pot or heavy saucepan with the halved garlic clove. Discard the garlic.
Heat the Wine
Pour the wine into the pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Grate & Add the Cheese
Lock your crank cheese grater to the counter with its stable suction base. Insert the fine shredding blade. Feed in the Gruyère block—crank smoothly until you have fluffy, uniform shreds. Toss the shredded Gruyère with cornstarch to coat. Add it to the simmering wine in handfuls, stirring constantly in a figure-8 motion until melted and smooth. Add kirsch, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until glossy.
Dip & Enjoy
Keep warm over low heat or a fondue burner. Serve with bread, apples, or veggies—dip away!

Lighter Version – Use half Gruyère, half Emmental for a milder flavor.
Spicy Kick – Add a pinch of cayenne or paprika.
Wine Swap – Try a crisp Riesling for a fruitier note.
Make-Ahead – Grate Gruyère with Geedel ahead; store in fridge.
Veggie Dippers – Blanch broccoli or cauliflower for a healthier twist.
