Recipe

Raclette is the ultimate interactive feast—wheels of creamy cheese melted to gooey perfection, scraped over potatoes, charcuterie, and pickles. It’s Switzerland’s gift to cozy nights, where everyone gathers around the table, customizing bites with bubbling cheese. The Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater brings this tradition home effortlessly: uniform shreds in seconds let you prep extra cheese for topping or emergencies, while the sharp premium blades handle hard raclette blocks safely. No raclette grill? No problem—oven or stovetop works with Geedel’s help.

Ingredients (Serves 4-6)

1.5–2 lbs raclette cheese (or substitute Gruyère/Emmental), cut into ¼-inch slices or coarsely shredded with Geedel

1.5 lbs baby potatoes, boiled until tender

Assorted charcuterie: prosciutto, salami, smoked ham

Pickles: cornichons, pearl onions

Fresh veggies: broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms

Baguette slices, lightly toasted

Optional Toppings:

½ cup carrots, finely shredded

½ cup zucchini, thinly sliced

¼ cup walnuts, crushed

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the Cheese

If using a raclette grill, slice cheese. For oven/stovetop or extra topping, attach the Coarse Shredding Blade (2-Blade Set) to your cheese grater hand crank. Feed in raclette blocks—watch fluffy, even shreds pile up in seconds. The stable suction base locks tight, and the food pusher keeps hands safe. Store in a bowl for easy grabbing.

Cook the Base

Boil baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Keep warm. Lightly steam or sauté veggies if desired.

Set the Table

Arrange potatoes, charcuterie, pickles, veggies, and bread on platters. Place shredded cheese in a central bowl for refills or oven melting.

Melt the Cheese – 3 Ways

Raclette Grill: Melt cheese in pans under the grill; scrape over plates.

Oven Method: Spread shredded cheese over potatoes/veggies in individual ramekins; broil until bubbly.

Stovetop Skillet: Melt cheese in a small pan; pour over assembled plates.

Build Your Bite

Layer warm potato with charcuterie, pickles, and molten cheese. Top with Geedel-crushed walnuts for crunch.

Serve

Keep cheese flowing—use grater for quick resupply. Pair with crisp white wine or sparkling cider.

Tips and Variations

No Raclette Grill? Use a cast-iron skillet under the broiler—Geedel-shredded cheese melts in 2 minutes.

Vegetarian Twist: Skip meat; double veggies and add Geedel-sliced mushrooms.

Spicy Kick: Mix cayenne into shredded cheese before melting.

Dessert Raclette: Use Geedel Crushing Blade to grind dark chocolate—melt over fruit.

Make-Ahead: Pre-shred cheese with Geedel and store in fridge up to 2 days.

Raclette isn’t just dinner—it’s an experience of laughter, customization, and melted cheese magic, made seamless by the cheese slicer. From uniform shreds in seconds to safe, stable prep, Geedel keeps the party flowing without missing a beat.
