What a fantastic video! You did a wonderful job and we just were gifted a raclette grill like this and now know what to do-just in time for holiday season! From an old Chicago boy now living in the Great Basin, thank you very much!
I can't begin to emphasize how glad it makes me that he lets us know when it's ok for something to not be as exact as what's happening here. I always worry making something for the first time!
I knew someone else would think like me. not season any of three meat and veggies is absolutely ridiculous. I couldn’t eat the chicken and all the veggies the way they introduced it to me the first time. We didn’t even have any sauce on top of not seasoning the chicken. I knew it could be better. This is the way to go. ❤️
Honestly, the people complaining about melted cheese and how one should eat their food is amazing. You can eat what you want how you want, to each their own, as long as you enjoy it, there are no rules, it's NOT hurting anyone.
With the industrial raclette, you get outside Swiss/Franche/Italy it's ok to use it on whatever, but when you have alpine farm-made raclette it's a sacrilege to put it on something other than potatoes..
Super helpful video. We are doing this for family for first time and found your video perfect. Not too long. Just straightforward. Love the background story!
@@faz7531 A bit healthy is a longshot imo. Dumping a lot of cheese on meat and vegetables doesn't even sound "a bit healthy". Agreed, this is a setup for an elegant dinner party.
@@mauz791 just fyi that slice is more likely to be equal to 2 glasses of milk in calories. Around 230 to 250. So it's still healthy compared to other junk that is sometimes presented on munchies
RolinSweetsSmkinSour because the “nose”’ or the tip of the cheese is the best part, where all the fat and moisture is. Cutting the tip is considered very rude. You’re basically taking the best bit for yourself. Tradition states that cheese should be cut in the lenght so that everyone can get a bit of the tip :)
@@cheesepizza7939 see this is why I wrote the good kind. When I was in school hipster meant a cool guy who knew about art, music and food and was knowledgeable about cultural differences and knew how to embrace that shit tastefully and by the time I reached college the word became a swear word. Referring to a pretentious douchebag. I associate this guy with the earlier meaning of the word.
@@gangstaflamingo yeah man. It was essentially the cooler subculture. You know, record store guys who knew a great deal about vinyls of many genres and their historical relevance. Performance artists who would challenge stereotypes with wit instead of getting offended and hoping somebody would care. Chefs who'd mash up cuisines and make something great turn into absolutely amazing. Now it's just boiled down to diluted angst, stylised illogical beards, veganism, artisanal coffee and worst of all arrogance and the idea that looking down on people who don't associate with your taste is a good thing. Which is truly a sad state of affairs. Being a hipster essentially meant being really genuinely passionate and knowledgeable about one thing which the mainstream didn't really care for. And that was a beautiful cultural thing. Now it's just a bunch of douchebags being total assholes.
I don't think it has anything to do with region, it's what you like, I'm sure there is someone in France eating it differently than most...to each their own.
but the thing is that his video is the equivalent of a video showing to french how to do a perfect American hamburger, but only by using a baguette, snails, and some caviar...... But dont worry, we kept the chese in it... The thing is that he just destroyed a tradition, the raclette sort of is a religion in many countries in Europe ! But IT somehow only is a joke, we don't take it THAT seriously, it sort of is..... An European joke ;) X,D
@@sami_san2314 As an American, there is no such thing. You can make your burgers anyway you want. As an American, I wouldn’t be offended if someone made burgers with snails and caviar. I don’t have to eat it. To each his own. Maybe because I have a life, little things like that don’t bother me. 🤷
Sorry, but this is something, but not raclette. Raclette is all about the cheese, simple, unadorned, high quality fresh young cheese that you melt with the slightest bit of browning on the crust. With a good Fendant (Chasselas) to complete it, the wine is fully half the dish. maybe a cornichon and a pearl onion for some acidity, and you eat it in small portions, a potato or so for each cheese portion, so each serving os freshly melted, until you are full. All this other stuff is wonderful but in the end the cheese just becomes a small part of a completely different dish, with the garlic and meat and all that veg the cheese is no longer the focus. Some things should remain simple.
I want that grill he used, but im sensitive to strong smelling cheese so I want to make something else....maybe munster cheese with meat and veggies?... I know its an insult to the people of Switzerland but understand I would not be using this machine and calling my dish Raclette, i just want the grill.
Paul: "There really are no rules for Raclette..." The entirety of Switzerland: "You uncultured swine!!!" *Crying in a corner as their national dish is butchered*
@SennaFan 1) Congrats for letting that joke go over your head. 2) I'm Swiss 3) The amount of angry comments left on this video (some unironically in Swiss german) would beg to differ with you.
@SennaFan Yeah...... But Google translate doesn't work with a version of German that has no gramatical rules, a different dialect for every small Region and noone really writes words the same way. Which is why you answered in German, and not Swiss German. I mean: "Do yUo KnOw anYThinG ABouT sWiTzeRlaNd" Bisch würk a chline Depp oder....
@@hiroipip do whatever you want on the grill, but traditional raclette is just melted cheese over steamed little waxy potatoes with pepper and cornichons/pickled onions on the side. Warm tea goes well and some people eat cured meat with it too. Only potatoes under the cheese though

Cornichons (tiny sour pickles)
Diced onion (or silver zwiebeln!)

Hi
so.... its just a european teppanyaki?
No, the original raclette is only eaten with potatoes. Maybe some pickles and small oignons, add pepper and paprika and you good to go
The first thing you want to do is cut the cheese. Check.
I have been to Chamonix(France)5 or 6 times over the last 20 years and i have never seen a raclette done like this.
Im sure it tastes reasonable.
