PREPARATION
RACLETTE
Plan on using 125 - 150 grams (4-5 oz) of cheese per person.
Traditional Raclette cheese can be used, or a wide variety of other
cheeses may be chosen (brie, sharp cheddar, emmental, gouda,
Monterey jack, etc).
The first step to making the traditional raclette recipe is to boil
small potatoes in their skins until they're done, and keep warm in
a covered serving dish. Turn raclette on to begin to heat up (takes
only a minute or two). Each diner then takes their individual tray,
adds a thick slice of cheese, tops it with whatever they desire,
and slides it under the grill. While the cheese is melting, grill,
reheat or use the fondue pot to prepare other foods on the upper
surface. When the cheese is bubbling nicely, remove the tray from
under the grill, scrape the contents with the wooden scraper onto
the potatoes and other food such as grilled meat and vegetables
that you have on your plate. Sprinkle with pepper or other spices.
It can take five minutes or so for each slice of cheese to melt, so
put a new slice of cheese in your tray as soon as you've scraped
the last one off.
NOTE
• For grilling meats, lean cuts are best, cut into thin strips for
faster cooking on the grill, or in the fondue pot (if using oil or
broth based). You can use chicken, beef, fish or Shellfish. Use
the grill top to cook raw meat; do not use the raclette dishes.
• To melt cheese, lower the temperature setting and melt the
cheese slowly. If the cheese is melted too quickly, the oil will
separate from the cheese.
FONDUE
• Put liquid (you can use oil, chocolate, cheese, broth, etc) in
the fondue pot without exceeding 2/3 of the height. Place the
protective ring on the top of the pot to minimize any splashing.
• Place the pot over the hole in the grill surface. When liquid is
hot (8 to 10 min) use the long forks to cook food in the oil. Use
a lower thermostat setting when using cheese or chocolate as
compared to using oil to prevent burning.
6
• For oil or broth based fondues use thinly sliced meats, chicken,
fish or seafood. Serve with a variety of dipping sauces.
• For cheese based fondue, use cubed bread.
• For chocolate fondue, use a variety of fruits, cookies, cake or
marshmallows cut into bite sized pieces.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
