A “parking station” for the hot pans makes culinary pleasure even more uncomplicated. Pans, sliders, pots and grill plates are dishwasher safe.
How should a mini raclette be cleaned?
As a rule, the crucial elements, i.e. pans and possibly grill plates, are non-stick coated. This largely prevents food residue from sticking on. Cleaning is therefore easy. A damp cloth with a little mild detergent is often enough. Depending on the manufacturer, individual parts can also be cleaned in the dishwasher. Please refer to the instructions for use of your mini raclette for detailed information.
Important: Non-stick coatings should never be treated with metal objects or aggressive cleaners. If something does stick on, it is better to soak the item in a warm mixture of water and detergent. This way you can be sure that you can enjoy your mini raclette for a long time.
