No problem! With a mini raclette, cheese enjoyment can be celebrated in any constellation.
Mini raclette: Enjoy the classic cheese in a small group
Without electricity: mini raclette for one or two people
You should always treat yourself to something. You could do that with this one, for example Boska mini raclette, which consists of an extra-large, coated pan. Since the device is only operated with candles and therefore without electricity, it also creates a great atmosphere with candlelight. Regardless of whether you want to use the mini raclette for classic cheese preparations, for omelettes or even to melt chocolate – nothing stands in the way of your uncomplicated enjoyment.
With electricity and griddle: mini raclette for one or two people
If you prefer to have two individual pans and also a grill plate on top of the mini raclette, that’s suitable Bestron model. You have the advantage that you can fill your two pans differently and also prepare grilled vegetables or meat. Both the pans and the grill plate are non-stick coated and prevent the food from burning – cleaning is easy afterwards.
With electricity and double-sided grill plate: mini raclette for four people
This model from Princess is a visual highlight among the mini raclettes. This differs with fine bamboo mini raclette also by another detail from many competitors: An intermediate level serves as a storage space for hot pans that have not been used in the meantime. Other good features are the four non-stick coated pans and the reversible grill plate – a grooved side for roasting vegetables and/or meat and a flat side for preparing teppanyaki dishes, for example.
With electricity, reversible grill plate and fondue pot: mini raclette for two people
This WMF mini raclette offers you all options in one fell swoop: the mini raclette has three pans (two small and one large pan), a griddle and a fondue pot. It is entirely up to you whether you use the fondue to supplement the main course with more cheese or a brewed version, or whether you prefer to prepare your dessert in the form of a chocolate fondue while the main course is being served. A “park station” for the hot pans makes the culinary pleasure even less complicated. Pans, sliders, pots and griddles are dishwasher-safe.
How should a mini raclette be cleaned?
As a rule, the decisive elements, i.e. pans and, if necessary, grill plates, have a non-stick coating. This largely prevents leftovers from caking. The cleaning is accordingly easy. A damp cloth with a little mild washing-up liquid is often sufficient. 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 cleaning agents. If something sticks, it is better to soak the object in a warm mixture of water and washing-up liquid. This way you can be sure that you will enjoy your mini raclette for a long time.
