Instructions: The Mongolian hot pot (or Chinese firepot or boiling firepot, as it is sometimes called) is like a Chinese fondue and, as such, is a fun way to share a meal with guests.

Instead of oil, broth is used to cook pieces of raw meat and vegetables.

Sauces are served with the cooked food. After the food is removed from the pot, the broth is served as part of the meal.

The Mongolian pot has three parts, a base that holds a few glowing briquettes

(youll want to start the briquettes on your grill outside and use a protective pad under the base), an aluminum liner to hold the broth and a cover to keep it steaming.

Be sure to use your pot in a well-ventilated area, even in your fireplace with the flue open.
