How to make Swiss Raclette: One of my fav foods!

I love Raclette! This meal is traditionally eaten in fall and winter, not so much in the warmer times of the year. The raclette stove can also be used as a table grill, the top surface can be used to grill meats. This is a perfect dinner party meal as it's easy to prepare, and fun for everyone to make, and so yummy!

Raclette cheese can be found in any grocery or cheese store in Switzerland; if you live in North America, try a European specialty cheese store. You calculate between 200 - 250 grams of cheese per person, sliced. The raclette cheese is very flavourful and melts quickly, but it's NOT processed single slice cheese! It is real Swiss cheese, made by traditional method.

What I like to eat with raclette as side dishes: mini gherkins, pickled zucchini and pumpkin, pickled baby onions, tomato salad in a balsamic dressing with chives, mini corns on the cob, bacon, pear, pineapple, and of course potatoes are a must! Typical spices used on top of raclette cheese are sweet paprika, lemon pepper, and mild curry. In stores here you can buy a special "raclette spice" mix, and I also like caraway seeds and cayenne pepper on my cheese!

To drink, I personally like white wine, but some people prefer to have their raclette and fondue with tea. Raclette is also eaten in some places in France, and maybe other cheese-loving countries in Europe. :P

This is NOT a raclette ! This is a "raclonette" !!!

(A real raclette is not made with small slices of cheese but with a big piece of cheese (half a cheese) and a special machine!

@juanmartin0041 Sorry but in Switzerland, this is called Raclette too. I don't know where you are from but all my friends call this Raclette.

@TheThirdShift: How long have you stayed in Switzerland? Do you have Swiss relatives? Because you say things like Rrrraclette and in the other Videos you pronounce the Names of different things exactly right =) I think you're making a good job for us Swiss people to talk about our country! Thanks alot =)
