  • Let's make some raclette, a Swiss cheese cooked by candle and poured over potatoes or toast. And while we're at it, let's do a fried egg, too. 😁 Big thanks to Ken for sending me the raclette cooker to make this video possible. 🙏

    Hi Emmy
    I‘m a swissgirl, living in switzerland🤗🇨🇭
    During wintertime we eat a lot raclette, sometimes every week. Thank you for sharing this wonderful meal😘
    A „pro“-tip: you should cut the chees thicker, like 1cm-pieces. Don‘t use oil and it‘s not good to melt it that much as you dit. It should not separate the fat. When its done, we sprinkle a little bit of paprika or pepper on top...makes a big difference😉

    Excellent video! So delicious! Nostalgic too! My raclette brush with fame: A long time ago in Hollywood I was invited to a dinner party at the home of a famous Swiss cinematographer. He had one of those wheel raclette things with a full wheel of raclette (12-13 lbs.) slowly melting on it. Small buffet style, he'd scrape off some raclette on to our plates and we'd select a variety of delicious accompaniments set out on the table. As you describe, the evenig was relaxed, the light by candle, the wine divine. I was seated next to a very well known European movie star, which was unnerving, but the great food, wine, and down to earth conversation took the edge off and made for an unforgettable and extremely delicious experience I can still taste. In the end, I believe it is well worth the expense to treat yourself and your friends to a great relaxed evening of good food and conversation raclette style. Guten apetit, as it is said in German! Thank you again Emmy for sharing a wonderful way to enjoy life!

      Hello Chromberries シ Yee,
      Not that it really matters, but my girlfriend at the the time was / is a film editor and she was friends with the host of the dinner. If I remember correctly it was a small and informal celebration of the completion of photography of the project they were all working on at the time. Other than my girlfriend I did not know nor had I worked with the other guests before. It was my first experience with Swiss cuisine and raclette, which as the host of this channel Emmy sensei can attest is condusive to an ideal atmosphere for conversation and enjoyable dining. Even if it's not raclette, similar leisurely shared cooking like fondue or shabu-shabu I believe make for a really nice way to share good times with friends and new acquaintances. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

    Hi Emmy :). I'm Swiss and I very much enjoyed seeing you making raclette. Although we don't usually oil the pans (the cheese is oily enough and the pans are non-stick). Don't over melt your cheese, just enough to let it glide out of the pan and have some bubbles. The cheese slices are usually about 5mm in thickness. And the cheese to potato ratio is different (way more cheese than you had). We use salt, pepper and mild paprika to season the cheese after it melted. Glad you liked one of our national dishes and I'm very happy you attempted it and researched so well!
    The "swiss plus sign" is actually a cross. Our flag is a red square with a white cross in the middle.

Rarely do you get even close to frustrated, so I enjoyed the subtle change of tone in "Strike Anywhere", 3. The pouty lip when the cheese did not melt right off the skillet.

    You lost me at "a little barnyard-y".
    Also, my Norwegian mother-in-law taught me you can use your cheese plane to peel cucumbers, and then to slice them very thinly for cucumber salad (which is basically cucumbers, vinegar, oil and a smidge of sugar). Makes the job SOOOOOO much easier than using a paring knife and veggie knife.

      I (a Norwegian) mostly use a potato peeler because it can be quicker, but the fact that a cheese plane (ostehøvel) wasn't universal made me happy really. Some Norwegian guy was like, I want some brunost. What is easiest to use? *Makes an ostehøvel*. We usually don't have oil in cucumber salads( if you make them to eat with traditional food, especially fish), but everyone does it different I guess 😊 glad your Norwegian mother in law has brought something "Norwegian" with her 😄 do your husband speak Norwegian?

    I'm half Swiss - this is one of my favourite Swiss meals! You did a great job of keeping it authentic Emmy. A few tips - use less potatoes! You only use one or two, and pour the cheese all over them. While you're eating that serving of raclette, put more cheese on to cook. You end up eating multiple servings (a raclette meal can last over an hour, to several hours), with the pickles to cleanse your palate in between. Also, I love LOTS of cracked pepper on my raclette. Lastly, you can obviously use cheeses other than raclette. I love Tilsit, and even non-Swiss cheeses like Gouda & Edam.

  • @tookitogo
    @tookitogo 4 года назад +1

    I’m an American living in Switzerland. Funny that you posted this yesterday - I just bought a pack of Raclette cheese today! :)
    Some tips: you need to melt much thicker slices of cheese - store bought sliced Raclette cheese is typically around 1/4” thick. No oil is needed, as Raclette cheese already contains copious amounts of fat. And the amount you melted was what one would typically put onto maybe two small potatoes. Don’t cook it quite so much, it should only just begin to separate. And then sprinkle with pepper, nutmeg, and/or paprika (or even cayenne) at the table. Some people like to put bacon bits or mushrooms into the cheese as it’s melting.
    In USA, I’d use Edam or Monterrey jack cheese as an affordable substitute. And try pepper jack - chili Raclette cheese is a thing here in Switzerland, and it’s delicious.
    Finally, when I’m at home, cooking just for myself, I sometimes make “ghetto Raclette” by just melting it under the broiler on a plate, or even “super ghetto” Raclette by melting it in the microwave. (Here in Switzerland, electric Raclette cookers are by far the most common method at home, since the ones with candles do take quite a while. The old traditional method was melting a wheel of it by a fire or under a heated iron... thing. As I understand it from older folks here, the candle powered ones are a fairly recent thing, invented as “Raclette for two” as a novelty.)

      French fries? Here in Norway its sold at the Christmas market every year. There are two kinds, one with just roasted potatoes, bacon and cheese. And one with bacon cheese, onions, cream and potatoes. They are cooked in these HUGE pans with a fire burning underneath them. Then when you order, they get your potatoes of choice and then go to the cheese station, grill the cheese with an electric heating element and then scrape it off the wheel onto your taters. Its THE BEST

The fact is you can fry just about anything that is friable. I've personally cooked Egg , Hamburger , bacon, Ham-steak, sausages and more. Boiling enough water for Hot Bouillon , Hot chocolate , tea or coffee requires more then one candle but can be done. Did you know a unopened can of Beanyweinies will explode doing this ? No one told me that one.

    Yesss Raclette! I'm Swiss so I'm very familiar with it, although I've always made it on big electric ovens with several small pans to share. That's anyways the best part of it, getting together with friends to enjoy some food and have a good time. Two small points about your raclette technique: 1) you don't need to put oil in the pan, the cheese is fatty enough to slide out on its own. 2) Ususally we cut thicker pieces and take it out as soon as it's done melting, that way it has a nicer texture and is less stringy. It's also common to season with some black pepper or paprika to taste.
    Also just noticed your little raclette oven is by the brand "Emmi", how fitting.😄

    So glad you tried this wonderful cheese. My son-in-law is Swiss and he and his family taught me all about this traditional cheesy meal. Raclette is best when made on a raclette griddle where everyone has their own separate pan for the raclette slices which you don’t want to overmelt, just enough to allow it to slide off onto the food. The top of the griddle is for cooking shrimp, chicken, beef strips, grape tomatoes, bacon, cocktail onions, little gherkins called cornichons, zucchini slices, horse steak (yep, they eat that) and anything you feel like grilling. Then you add it to your plate with some small potatoes and add paprika and raclette spice (which I cannot find in the US so I bring it from Switzerland). Absolutely phenomenal dinner and it’s a fun way to enjoy family time. Real Raclette cheese is scarce in the US and it’s very expensive and there is only one or two brands. In Swiss grocery stores they have dozens and dozens of brands and kinds; even smaller grocery stores will have an entire dairy case devoted to it. The spicy kind is my fave. Enjoy your raclette experiences and thanks for your wonderful videos. 😃🥓🥩🥒🥔🍤🧀🇨🇭

I lived with my unprepared aunt, and we survived off bread, pop tarts, and frozen precooked chicken nuggets lol. One morning I had it. I gathered a bunch of tea light candles, a deep metal pan, and two packs of my aunts cigarettes lol. I lit the candles, propped the pan up on the cigarette packs, and made me and my cousin our first hot meal in days. It was sooooo good, and I'll never forget it. Best scrambled eggs I've ever had!

      PH CERT No, they were normal cigarette packs. I put one under the pan on each side, then packed the tea lights very close together under the pan, more in the middle. The cigarette packs were a good 3-4 inches away from the candles. I'm sure they still got warm, but not enough to melt the plastic on them. It cooked the eggs real good, but it wasn't too hot at all.

      The suffix '-less' means 'without', not literally less of something (www.dictionary.com/browse/-less), so to my mind, if it were steel that stained less it would be called Stain Less Steel, and even then that has a connotation that the steel is the source of the stain, not the recipient.

    About the Raclette, the word "raclette" actually means "little scraper" and refers to the woody ustensile used to scrape the melted cheese from the machine onto your potatoes. You should definitely make thicker cheese slices and, on top of everything, add some cold meats to it !!!!!!! ( like ham, pastramy and things like that )
    About the Fondue, the word "fondue" is a french adjective at the feminin form used as a noun what means "melted".
    Apparently, swiss food is about melting cheese and french people that I belong to thank them for the sharing ! ( or maybe we stole it.... )

    I have one of these and use it for camping, really nice in the winter when wood is wet and snowy and hard to make a fire with, and also lightweight and does not require messing with gas. Everyone should camp with them!

    You know it's good when Emmy does cheer-style fist pumps to the sky.

    So I am swiss and in my opinion the best raclette is made on a raclette öfeli (raclette oven I think you could say) with a stone on it, where you can cook bacon or veggies and under it there goes the raclettechees with nice potatos. Ahh and Emmy.
    You dont need snow to eat this! We eat it every season ;)
