I just received my grill today. I don't need to try it to know that it will perform amazingly well. We lived in Switzerland for 5 years and were introduced to raclette by our friends. We were hooked and have served raclette to most of our guests. There was not one person that didn't enjoy the slow pace of the meal, the great social aspect, and how little one actually eats when waiting for the food to cook as you eat and drink. Translation: your brain has time to tell your stomach it's full. I have since given some as gifts to family and they all love it. It's so nice because everyone does something a little different and can accomodate personal tastes. My brother and his family are arriving this weekend for their first visit to our house after we were out of the country. They are bringing their grill along with their 5 young children. They are the ones that requested raclette for dinner. Ordering with Raclette Corner was wonderful. I mentioned in my E-mail that I needed the shipment to arrive before the weekend and it arrived 4 days early! I would recommend raclette to anyone who is looking for a unique and wonderfully social dining experience and Raclette Corner to anyone who wants a personal shopping experience (even though it's done on-line.)
