I believe in adapting recipes to use local products.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-67962304296462962952012-11-28T21:16:33.357+01:002012-11-28T21:16:33.357+01:00I've used a George Foreman grill to make racle...I've used a George Foreman grill to make raclette. I've never had it in Europe so I don't know if I'm doing it correctly--but it tastes might good. I've also used Fontina for good results. fashion survivorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10313156871501281318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-30588441464131694212012-11-28T20:45:17.437+01:002012-11-28T20:45:17.437+01:00I've seen those raclette sets at various depar...I've seen those raclette sets at various department stores around France (and Spain).

It's a nice way of eating and cooking at the same time. A glass of wine, good conversation, and you have everything.<br />Don't worry about having a dish ready in time, or if it will get cool, or you have to clean a lot of pots. I like it even more than cheese fondue, that I also enjoy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558027343944212103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-40238742179926755322012-11-28T14:21:40.624+01:002012-11-28T14:21:40.624+01:00I love raclette, but don't do it often since T...I love raclette, but don't do it often since Trader Joes is the only place that I know of that carries the special cheese. Perhaps your readers know of substitute cheeses.<br /><br />You little grill's design is chouette. I'm going to try using Canadian bacon sometime.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-54371181641167817272012-11-28T13:38:20.745+01:002012-11-28T13:38:20.745+01:00Tim, we've made pizzas using raclette cheese a...Tim, we've made pizzas using raclette cheese and yes, it gives a good result.<br /><br />Mitch, the little gadget is fun to use.

Have you tried it?<br /><br />I've never liked mozarella much and the stuff here is either outrageously expensive [and works] or very cheap and sets like a rock!<br /><br />I've been doing pizzas with chevre and they are good... but you don't get the strings?<br /><br />I've never tried raclette as a cheese.<br />Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.com
