Flavortown Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hey all, I'm looking into buying my girlfriend a raclette grill for her birthday, and I was wondering if anybody had experience with them. From what I've seen, the main brands for U.S. consumers are Swissmar and Trudeau. Here are a few of the models I've been looking at: http://www.raclettecorner.com/product/KF-77081 http://www.raclettecorner.com/product/0823001 Thus far I'm leaning toward the granite top varieties (as opposed to non-stick), and those two both appear to be good from what I've read. If anybody has thoughts on brands, types, or the best sites/companies to order them from, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Gennaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lperry Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The only experience I have with raclette grills are from when I was in Switzerland ages ago. The grill we used was more like the second one you linked - it had a metal top, heated up quickly, cooked the cheese to bubbling goodness in no time, and cleaned up easily. The granite tops are pretty, but I would look for reviews (on Amazon maybe?) to see how well they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_ironstomach Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Another option spotted in the latest issue of Culture, the cheese magazine: the Boska Barbaclette. A nonstick pan designed to melt individual servings of cheese over the grill. About $13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
