The raclette is hot quickly, so you can start quickly.
The distance between the heating elements and pans is good, melts the cheese, but it is not so hot that he sprayed up to the heating elements. And the distance is so great that you can pile up even higher in the pan without touching and to burn it.
The Pfännchengriffe do not get hot, all can be safely taken.
The pans have a Teflon coating, thereby puts nothing in the pan and they can also be very easy to clean.
In addition to the 8 pans Raclette has a griddle. This is nice and hot, so you really good meat can fry it. Also this plate is coated with Teflon and you can not burn fat without frying on it. However, the middle came while grilling a corner high (see photo). After a time they went back down on its own. Something strange, grilling it has not harmed. Nevertheless, that should not really be?
Apart from this there is only a slightly negative point. With 2 meters cable was a bit short, at least for us. Not everyone has an outlet next to his desk.
Overall, however, a device that's really fun and confident with the raclette!
