A real raclette like in a restaurant

If, like us, after a year of endless waiting, the drop in temperature makes you feel an irrepressible desire for a good raclette accompanied by its platter of cold cuts, read this post, we give you all our secrets for a successful meal!

Who has never wanted to have a raclette by the fire, in a high altitude restaurant under the snow, or even at home with his real friends? Because yes, "friends" who don't like raclette are not real friends, let's be honest... 

To get off to a good start, head to your nearest cheese shop. Plain, smoked, with pepper, morbier, blue, all kinds of cheeses are allowed. For a real traditional raclette as in a restaurant, opt for a wheel or half-wheel of cheese with a cleaned rind, which you will melt under a traditional raclette machine. The inimitable pleasure of serving yourself from the wheel, the Must!

Raclette: Which quantities with which device?

Concerning the quantities, plan about 300 to 400g of raclette cheese per person.

For 2 to 4 people, we recommend theraclette machine for quarter wheels "PARTY with rotating cheese holder, or theTraditional raclette machine "Brezière" which has a double adjustable resistance to brown the 2 sides of the wheel simultaneously!

Theraclette machine "Alpage for half a wheel of cheese will be ideal for raclettes between 4 and 8 people, just like theprofessional raclette machine "Ambiance" which will have the particularity in addition to have a rotating cheese holder that can accommodate half wheels of square cheese!

Finally, there are some electric raclette machines for high yields, i.e. 8 people and more, which can accommodate 2 half wheels of cheese such as theDS2000" mountain raclette machine, or for 3 half wheels like theraclette machine "Trio", with double heating resistance.

What would be a traditional raclette without the raclette knife, indispensable, as well as the potato bucket made of wood! 

More of a reblochon fan? No problem with the reblochade kit that can be adapted to traditional raclette machines!

For romantic dinners, let yourself be tempted by raclette oven without electricity for 2 people!

You now have all the keys to a delicious raclette like in the mountains, but remember, the number one tip is that there is no season to eat it!
