Tefal Colormania RE310440 3-in-1 Raclette Cooker Set Grill and Crepe, Non-Stick Coating, Dishwasher-Safe, Aluminium,Red

A replacement for the old one that had died after over 20 years service. The family always enjoy the Raclette melted cheese and the fact that the new one is dishwasher safe will be a boon. Hope it lasts as well as the old one!

This was an absolute joy to cook with!The teal colourmania raclette and grill heats up so quickly that you are ready to cook in a couple of minutes.First time you turn it on, there will be some smoke and a smell from the heating elemenets but this is completely normal, all new appliances do this such as toasters, waffle irons etc. It's just the residues of he manufacturing process burning off. Mine had a little smoke and some smell for less than a minute and then was normal. So don't be alarmed!I decided to test the hot plate cooking some bacon - and my gosh, I've never had bacon faster. It cooked the bacon so quickly, and the cheese was melting at the same time in the raclette. I could eat and enjoy my cheesy, bacon potatoes in minutes- so easy and so fast. I honestly didn't expect it to be so quick.The appliance is a lot bigger than I expected (in a positive way) meaning there is plenty of space to cook lots of things at once. You get the removable hot plate and 8 raclette things (don't know what they are called) each with their own handle. Despite its size, the tefal is super lightweight.The hot plate heated up fast but also cooled really quickly too. It was fully cool by the time I finished eating so I could clean it and put it away.It is mains powered and the plug is about 1m long. I wish it was a little longer to reach my socket to my table but that's noting an extension couldn't fix.Overall, it's brilliant. Perfect for quick meals, get togethers and parties. Highly recommend.

This Tefal raclette is clearly underpowered for outdoor use, such as garden gatherings, due to its mere 1000W power. Any wind quickly cools it down, resulting in painfully long cooking times. On the other hand, indoors, due to the lack of temperature control, it becomes excessively hot. It easily reaches temperatures of 250°C indoors, which is dangerously close to the maximum safe temperature for Teflon. Outdoors, it struggles to reach 150°C.

This raclette cooker consists of a grill plate for things like bacon but nothing that loses lots of fat as the plate only has a small lip on it it has a flat round Area where you can do crêpes pancakes et cetera I cooked chorizo mushrooms and peppers on the top underneath the plate there is an element that cooks eight small pans I put with eggs tomato two different cheeses Salt and pepper and parsley things on the top were cooked I added these they didn’t take very long to cook and were very tasty but there is no temperature control I thought the raclette was quite expensive for what it is

The first time I had heard the word Raclette was when I received this item. For some reason, I did imagine it would be something different to what it actually is. But I love it. Read countless articles about Raclette and have used this many many times in the last month.I hosted a party the other weekend, and this was a centrepiece. My guests adore it. It is so easy to use and clean. As you would expect from Tefal, the coating is absolutely non-stick. Each part comes apart and can be placed in a dishwasher or just washed by hand. I am still mastering the crepe, but other dishes works amazing. We have even cooked rib eye steak while dining.The only downside is that all this goodness takes a lot of space rather. If you do not have where to store it and going to use it once a year... maybe you should not buy it. Otherwise, this is an amazing item.

I love this round Raclette it is great fun to use and cooks the food well . My grandchildren love using it . This one comes with different tops so you can make pancakes on it. It is easy to clean afterwards with hot soapy water. Really recommend.

This is a great machine that kind of confuses me when I think about it too much. Basically it enables cooking of various different things at the same time and lets you cook without mixing items and allows you to prepare everything to be rady at the same time.Pretty decent compact size for what it it is.Yup there's 8 wee pans in it but I wouldn't say it's big enough for cooking 8 meals at once to be fair, I do think that's a bit of a creative way of advertising these things but definitely enough space on it to cook 4 substantial meals.

This raclette grill is fun and easy to use. You get 8 individual small pans to cook your own food under the grill as you wish, adding the veg you cook on the top and then melting cheese under the grill. The crepe part of the grill is also good and kids love using it to make crepes. Fun for all around the dinner table. Well made item from tefal

easy to use. no stick at all.good item quality.
