Raclette Party

Raclette is a type of cheese from Switzerland that is prepared with vegetables on a special raclette grill. The grill heats numerous small pans in which each guest melts the raclette with vegetables and other toppings of his or her choice. Then everyone can relax with a beverage of choice while their individual raclette pans cook. It couldn't get any easier!

Usual trimmings:
Gherkins, Silver skin onions, Baby corn, freshly milled pepper, Paprika, garlic powder

Preparing and serving Raclette:
Boil the potatoes in their jackets. Line a basket or bowl with a napkin and wrap the hot potatoes in it to keep them warm. Cut the Raclette cheese into pan-sized slices and set them out on a dish. Put bowls of trimmings, a pepper mill and paprika on the table.

Drinks with Raclette:
True connoisseurs recommend mint tea because it stimulates the digestion.

Before and after:
You can serve seasonal salad as a starter and finish off with a fruit sorbet, fresh fruit or a fruit salad for dessert.

Handy Hints:
Allow about 200g (7oz) cheese and 200 to 250g (9oz) of potatoes per person.
When preparing Raclette in the pans, make sure you don't overcook it, otherwise the albumin gets grainy and the fat separates.

Raclette can be prepared with any variety of vegetables, fruits, herbs, condiments, liqueurs and spices. (Mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, pepperoni sausage, bacon strips, chicken/beef, olives, pineapple, onions…)
