RACLETTE
•
Raclette is a typical Swiss dish. You can obtain a good raclette by using the original
raclette cheese. Take about 150-250 grams for each person. Cut the cheese into slices
(more or less 2 mm thick).
•
Prepare potatoes in their skin, which you will put into a covered bowl or on the grill, in
order to keep them warm.
•
Put the raclette-grill at the centre of the table.
•
Put the cheese into the raclette pans and place them under the heating tube. The
cheese will melt after 3 to 4 minutes.
•
As soon as the cheese has melted and gotten a brownish-golden colour, you can
serve it as it is on your plate or spread it out on the potatoes in their skin. Add some
freshly ground black pepper.
•
Raclette is served with raw ham or "Bündner" meat, little onions and pickles, as well as
a dry wine.
•
After use, put the switch in off-position "0" and unplug the appliance.
OIL FONDUE
•
Always remove the bowl lid before cooking.
•
Fill the bowl for about a third with heat-resistant vegetable oil.
•
You can let the bowl with the oil heat on the raclette grill for about 30 minutes, but
we recommend preheating the oil in the bowl on a normal cooker to save time. At
the same time, preheat the appliance for about 15 minutes and put the bowl in the
foreseen opening. Caution: danger of burning! It is recommended to use oven
gloves. Put the fork holder ring on the upper edge of the bowl.
•
Cut the meat into small cubes or shape it into small minced meatballs, skewer them
on the fondue forks and hold them in the hot oil until they have reached the desired
degree of browning.
•
Do not use the fondue forks as long as the appliance is still preheating, as the forks
would heat up too much.
•
Take the forks only by their handle in order to avoid burns.
•
You can also marinate the meat before serving and cooking. You can also serve
dipping sauces to accompany your ingredients. Alternatively there is the possibility of
preparing a simple batter and rolling the pieces of meat, mushrooms or courgettes
shortly in the batter before frying them.
•
Fish fillets - e.g. of tuna or monkfish - are also delicious when prepared in the fondue.
•
After use, put the switch in off-position "0" and unplug the appliance.
