Yay Raclette friends :j
dh is French so we've had one for years - with a pirade stone on top too. In fact the French really like their table gadgets - I'm also the proud owner of a table top pancake machine, and an electric fondue!

The cheese is quite expensive and hard to come by though. I tend to either stock up on trips to France and freeze it, or I did find Lidl had it in once last year (I bought up all their stocks and froze it!) :rotfl:

You've made me want to do raclette now .... maybe that's Friday's dinner with friends sorted then :T

found ours when I cleaned the top of the fridge - since the last time I used it (and cleaned the top of the fridge) dd has become a veggie. i have so far thought of courgettes, haloumi cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes - not really worth it for the faff of setting it up but dd is keen to give it a go. Any other ideas?

I like slices of par-cooked potatoes with cheese and hardboiled egg slices with cheese. Also have done pears, walnuts and stilton on them, crusty bread and flat mushrooms.

Ours has little slidy grill plates that go under the main grill, so you can cook things in a little pan as well as on the top. Great fun, but I always make OH wash up after we've used it because of all the mess it makes.

On holiday at the moment and we've just had our first Raclette meal, delcious.

Nothing too adventurous as it was our first time. We boiled some sliced potatoes, and had onions, tomatoes and bacon cooking on the top and sauteed the potatoes in the bacon fat, all covered in melty Raclette cheese. I'll be asking on freecycling for a Raclette when we get back to the UK I'm sure many have been bought after a foreign holiday never to be brought out from the back of the cupboard.......
