In the endless range of kitchen utensils there is a wonderful adaptation, known far from everyone - it's a raclette. Such an unusual name the device acquired thanks to the sort of Swiss cheese Raklett, long produced in the mountains of this small state. In the old days the shepherds melted cheese on hot stones by the fire, and then, scraped it with a special scraper, and this technology served as a prototype for modern kitchen equipment.
What is a grilling rakletnitsa?
The first rakletnitsy-elektrogril were an electric container, into which the large heads of cheese were laid entirely. After all the cheese was melted with special scapula-scrapers, like shepherds, the cheese was scraped off on plate plates. Now the manufacturers have moved away from this concept and proposed a different one - when the cheese mass is already divided into portions. You can purchase a rakletnitsu for a certain number of family members - from one to eight.
In the modern kitchen, or rather at the dinner table, the raclette can be an interesting addition, because thanks to it in a matter of minutes you can cook a romantic dinner or a hearty dinner for the whole family from ordinary products. The tans used to make food have given grounds to classify this appliance as a grill, because it roasts and bakes products without a drop of oil, negating the occurrence of harmful carcinogens in food.
Typically, the device has two levels - at the top level of the goat cell there is a stone or its imitation in the form of a ceramic coating, on which all sorts of products are fried without adding oil.
The lower level is the same racletta, which in the modern version is a free space in which small frying pans with non-stick coating are inserted. In them, according to the classics of the genre, cheese is put for melting, but you can also add everything your heart desires - mushrooms, potatoes, tomatoes and other food that it will be appropriate to cook with cheese.
While cheese is melting on the lower tier, you can fry sausages, steaks, fish, bake vegetables, cook cutlets or even bake pancakes and fritters on the top. If all this is seasoned with aromatic herbs, you will get not only a useful, but also an incredibly tasty dish.
Power and other parameters
The speed of cooking on an electric grill-rocket launcher will be higher if the power corresponds. A low-power device, too, should not be written off, but with it the preparation of dinner can be somewhat delayed. Low-power model rackletnits have only 300W, while more productive models can reach 1200W and higher. The higher the power - the higher the price of the device, as, indeed, the pleasure of cooking.
Most often, both expensive and budget models have a plastic case, rubberized anti-slip feet and high-temperature resistant handles. You should choose a quality non-stick coating, which will serve for years, and will not become unusable after a month of active use.

Now many manufacturers of household appliances have in their arsenal several versions of these devices. The most budgetary, but at the same time high-quality is the Clatronic RG raccoon-grill. This device has low power and has two portioned pans and its productivity is enough for a family of two or three people.
But the rakletnitsa famous French firm Tefal is already an order of magnitude more expensive, although it has similar properties. True portions can be cooked three times more - she has six pans, and in a shorter time - the power of this device is 850 watts.
