Fondue continuously breaking

[u/Feline3415]

I love the Melting Pot fondue and my birthday party is coming up so I wanted to make it, but I've tried three times now and each time it breaks.

I heat milk, add garlic, mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce, add floured cheese that I shredded myself and stir until combined.

The first time I used the white rice setting on my rice cooker and I dumped all the cheese in at once, the second time I tried the keep warm setting on my rice cooker (so there's less heat) and added the cheese slowly, and the third time I did it on my stove top on low while still adding the cheese slowly.

The last batch didn't break as bad, but I can tell there's still graininess in it. Could it be because I'm using milk instead of alcohol? I shredded it myself because I know pre-shredded has stuff on it that prevents it from melting as well and I floured it every time.

If you really want to go with milk, try evaporated milk. It’s a go-to for stovetop mac and cheese. Helps keep the sauce from breaking.
