Cooking Tips
. Cut raw meats into thin strips or 1-inch square or smaller sections when grilling.
. Use raclette dishes for heating the
pre-cooked
foods or for melting cheese underneath grill.
NOTE:

and other foods warm while you prepare your personal raclette dishes.
. Use spatulas provided for removing foods from raclette dishes.
. Use only plastic utensils on grill as metal may scratch the surface.
. Do not overfill raclette dishes.
. Do not preheat raclette dishes.
Suggestions For Raclette Parties
When serving a raclette meal, there is usually a heavy base food such as potatoes, bread or tortillas
that are warmed on the grill top while guests use their individual raclette dishes to warm their favorite
cheeses and toppings in slots located under the grill top . Raw meats can be cooked on the grill top, or
if precooked, can be warmed on the grill or heated in the raclette dishes. When all of your ingredients
are thoroughly heated, place your potato, bread or tortilla on a plate. Fill with meats, cheeses and
toppings of your choice by scraping the ingredients from the raclette dishes using the spatulas
provided.
There is no limit to the combinations of flavors you can create. Try different combinations and
different ingredients until you find your favorites. Season all meats to your liking. Try different
cheeses, condiments, sauces, fresh herbs and spices for extra flavor. Quantities will vary depending on
party size.
