Instructions

Prepare the ingredients for Raclette

  • Rinse the potatoes with cold water and cook until tender. Don't remove the skin, we usually serve jacket potatoes with raclette.
  • Cut zucchini, peppers, pickled cucumber, garlic and champignons into thin slices/stripes. Make sure the slices are thin, so the ingredients won't take long to cook.
  • Chop fresh onion into small cubes.
  • Cut Frankfurter in rings and chicken breast (or other meat you use) into stripes.
  • Take 100g of the fresh meat and marinated in the spices of your choice (I use the standard chicken seasoning). Set aside.
  • Arrange all ingredients in small plates and bowls.
  • Cut the Raclette cheese into 0,5cm slices. The slices should be a little smaller then the raclette pans.
  • When the potatoes are tender remove the water in which the potatoes cooked and cover the pot with a lid so the potatoes keep warm.

Prepare Raclette

  • Remove all the textiles from the room where you will be indoor grilling.
  • Place the Raclette Grill in the middle of the table. Bring the bowls and plates with Raclette ingredients.
  • Turn on the grill and wait until it heats up (15-20 minutes).
  • Grill the cheese, with other ingredients in the pans.
  • Grill the meat on the stone if you like. You usually don't need any oil with it.
  • As soon as you and your guests finish eating collect the pans and soak them in the soapy water to make sure that the cheese comes off easily.

Notes

My favourite Ingredient Combinations:

Hot-Dog Pan: Frankfurter/Wiener, Raclette Cheese, pickled cucumbers, fried onions
Pizza Pan: mushrooms, Salami, Sweetcorn, Raclette cheese
Vegetarian Pan: zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, Raclette cheese
Gipsy Pan: onions, peppers, marinated chicken breast, Raclette cheese
Grill Pan: chicken breast, herb butter, Raclette Cheese
Banana-Chocolate Pan: pancake/crepe, chocolate cubes, banana

Additional Tips:

  1. Remove the textiles before you start grilling the cheese to avoid the unpleasant smell that Raclette leaves in the room.
  2. Make sure you have extension cable for the grill if your table is not next to a socket.
  3. Cut the vegetables thinly, so it doesn't take ages to grill them. Make sure that the slices of the cheese are thick and similar to the size of the pan.
  4. When your guest finished eating, collect all the pans and wash them directly or soak them in water. This will help to remove the cheese quickly.
  5. When you have fresh meat leftovers, you can prepare it on the stone and store in the fridge for the next day.
  6. When you have vegetable leftovers, you can make a stir-fry the next day.
  7. When you have cheese leftovers, you can freeze it.
