Swissmar Matterhorn Raclette Grill

The granite stone provides superior heat retention and a natural, chemical-free cooking surface that is excellent for searing meats and vegetables. While it takes slightly longer to heat up than metal, it maintains a consistent temperature and is highly durable against scratching.

Absolutely. The top granite surface is designed for grilling proteins like steak, shrimp, and chicken, as well as sliced vegetables. The eight lower dishes are primarily for melting raclette cheese, but they can also be used to warm sauces or cook small side dishes like mushrooms or peppers.

The stone is removable, which makes cleaning easier, but it requires specific care. You should only clean it once it has cooled completely, using warm water and a scraper; avoid using soap or a dishwasher, as the stone can absorb those flavors and chemicals.

Yes, the dial allows you to adjust the heat intensity throughout your meal. This is particularly useful for maintaining a steady sizzle on the stone top while ensuring the cheese in the lower dishes melts at the right pace without burning.

This unit is designed for eight people, as it includes eight individual melting dishes. It works best when everyone is seated around the table, allowing guests to manage their own cheese and grill their own portions simultaneously.
