   MY FAMILY AND I LOVE THIS THING! Ha ha… our 2nd time using it my son asked if I’ve already made out my will. Twisted sense of humor I know, but it made me laugh. My reply was that I have, and he has to mud-wrestle his sister for it. Since my children are college age and I’m hopefully a ways off from them getting to inherit anything I love to use… I will be getting them all one of these for Christmas. :)It’s amazing and fun and makes some yummy stuff. I mean OMG… melted cheese!!! I guess my only complaints would be the plastic handles on the cheese trays… my aunt pushed hers in too far and melted it. I’m not a fan of teflon for many reasons and wish I had options there… plus the cheese does stick sometimes and then you scratch them getting it off. :/ I love that you can flip this over for grilling or crepes. I love that you can order the granite top one and it fits and works just great. I mean, I wish it were a little bigger given that it has 8 trays for cheese. Really only 4 people can use what we call the “grill real estate”. You steak out your little corner and if you’re hungry it can be a wait. No matter, this is loads of fun. I also love that it’s more user-friendly than Fondue. I have learned so much about cheeses and their melting characteristics. Raclette cheese is impossible to find except around the winter holidays, and then it’s still difficult. But if you find a place with a variety of other cheeses, this is seriously a must-have!

   As our son gets older, we’re working on finding new ways to stay engaged as a family, particularly with things still not “normal” because of the pandemic. We bought this specifically to have picnics in the living room while watching football, and to sit around the table with friends and family. We received on Saturday and immediately opened it to clean it for the game that evening. We had a variety of proteins, vegetables, cheese, and fruits to try out cooking the first time, so we could really get a feel for how the grill worked. It was so much fun and everything tasted great! The cast iron worked really well and cleaning was no different than any of our other cast iron pots. We’ll be breaking this out at least once-a-month, and maybe even once-a-week during winter as it really heats up the room you’re in too! The only complaint we have about it, which will likely work itself out as we use it more, is understanding where on the temperature dial we should be.

   back story: i am a swiss native living in the US. raclette is something i grew up with. i visit switzerland often and consider myself up to date with their standards.good to know: raclette ovens have changed since my childhood.no one uses the enameled tins anymore(i remember my mom soaking them, as they were so hard to clean) and most modern ovens have a table-grill option. (i don’t really use that, so i can’t review that part)the positive: it heats up really fast, does what it should, heats evenly for what it is* and does not transfer heat to the table it sits on. *note, i have never seen a raclette oven with the traditional style heating element like in the above machine heat perfectly evenly throughout. the spaces towards the middle of the oven are always a tad faster. it’s normal, actually negligible in this oven compared to others i’ve used. i have not used the table grill but it gets hot without a doubt. the tins are easy to clean. they could be a little thicker in the handle but it hasn’t affected performance, and they’re only minimally thinner than the ones i see in switzerland these days.the negative:-it arrived with the heating element dislodged which was an easy fix. also, upon first plugging i noticed smoke and an unpleasant smell caused by paint on the heating element. quality control missed that one i guess. that said, i’ve had the oven for close to two years and it has been working reliably.what i’d improve/add as an option:-a parking deck for the empty tins while you eat would be awesome. many raclette ovens offer this, but not all. i just give everyone a small plate to park their tins…

   I’m a German teacher and have enjoyed Raclette in Europe and at the homes of friends, so I figured it was time I got a grill myself. Although others are cheaper, it was recommended I go with Swissmar and we haven’t been disappointed. Good quality, good size and classic lines. I used it for a German teacher gathering along with two other grills, and of course at home the kids love it. It seems like a uni-tasker, but supposedly you can use it for pancakes, hibachi style cooking, etc. and I’m anxious to try that next!
