I purchased this grill because we had family visiting from out of state. I wanted to have a special dinner with them and had been introduced to raclette grilling by a friend from France several years ago. This grill/dinner was everything we expected! We like it better than FONDUE because it is healthier, easier, and less chance of getting burned on hot oil or "losing" your food in the fondue pot! This grill has great versatility. We plan to have a fajita dinner with our family soon. If we use it with a less elaborate spread we will definitely use it more often than just Holidays and special occasions. It is fantastic when you have company and have picky eaters in the mix. Everyone gets to cook exactly what they like so the dinner can't help but be a success!! It sparks great conversation too! Everyone even discussed which cheese they liked the best or which combination was the tastiest. We have not tried other raclette grills to know if the stone or cast iron grill tops work better, but for the price, we did just fine with our non-stick type grill. It is less costly and works just fine. When doing a traditional raclette dinner with all the "trimmings" it is very much like a holiday dinner and with that obviously comes more clean up....but it is well worth it!! And just doing fajitas, etc would be less fuss and fit on the table better!! Buy one! you won't regret it!Read full review
This stone cooking top is great for veggies and just about anything else you'd normally sauté in a pan. The manual warns against using oil or anything else to grease the stone as this could possibly damage it. I however have found it necessary to sometimes use a touch of oil when preparing things such as eggs to prevent sticking. Other than that, the stone works great. Preheating takes about 10-15 minutes. Overall, I'd recommend this product because not only does it work, it's fun to use!
We love this Raclette Grill. Its a fun way to get everyone to sit down and eat dinner together. I have a little trouble finding the Raclette cheese locally, but we substituted with another brand from Trader Joe's. I like the simplicity of the meal, and clean up is quite easy...everything is nonstick, and the grill surface is completely removable. I have not tried making crepes on the reverse side of the grill, but I actually purchased this one, because it can be used as both a grill and a griddle, eliminating the need for an extra appliance in my kitchen. I would recommend this for anyone that likes to entertain or have a fun meal with the family. The only thing I would be aware of, is that while I think there is room for 8 people to melt cheese at the same time...I also think it would be difficult for 8 people to cook on the griddle at once. I think it fits 4 very comfortably.Read full review
I have now bought two- one for a gift . .. the machine is good quality- the mini trays aren't very burly I think they could easily bend but for the price this is great!

The marble top may need extra time to heat up but it cooks as well as the metal top once it's at it's peak temp. It's a lot easier to clean and don't have to worry about the teflon flaking off which was a big problem with the metal surface.
