Yesterday I FINALLY found Fontina from Italy - still with the rind on it
stating that it was made in Italy! The cheese-guy was absolutely
knowlegeable - reminded me a little of Mario Batali.
And Pandora, I found the Raclette you mentioned. I bought t both. One of
them was $15 a lb., I forget which. I didn't buy a lot -- tee hee.
Looking forward to eating it.

Pandora, the Mario Batali we'd generally think of in the U.S. is
a chef specializing in Italian food (and of Italian descent, too, but
he's definitely American - spent some time learning his trade in
Italy, though). He's on a couple of TV shows on the U.S. Food
Network, has a number of cookbooks out, etc..

Here's more on "our" Mario Batali:

Raclette is, IMO, not a very good tasting cheese unless it's been
"cooked". If it has been, it's wonderful.

Put a butter-pat slice on a cracker and nuke it 'till it bubbles. Or run
it under yout broiler-toaster oven. Be careful not to remove the skin
from the roof of your mouth.

I thought the whole point of raclette cheese was to grill/melt/scrape off
for serving. It's meant to be a melting cheese and not for eating cold or
room temp.

I'm glad you all told me this, because even tho we like stinky cheese, we
both said that this tasted like cheese that's over-ripe.
We'll try your suggestions.
THANK YOU!

Although Pandora might prefer to eat raclette cheese without heating or
melting, the following specialized equipment would indicate how popular it
is to melt the cheese as it's eaten.

I have eaten it this way served in a restaurant that specialized in fondue
and raclette and find it's a wonderful cheese.

I call it Raclettiera. If you have seen the web site of Wayne, is the second
in the photos and the Americans call it "raclette oven" (as I could see)..
Tell me if you see, otherwise I send you a photo of mine.

Dee, QVC hawks something like this although I don't think they call it
a raclette oven. It was less stylish and much larger than this one,
but I think it was less $$$ too. I like the looks of this one, I
prefer the smaller footprint.

The picture was fine. I never go to QVC but I'll look now and then, now
that I know what it is like. So clever, the French. (However, supposing
that they came up with the idea of a raclette oven.)
Just finished putting the raclette on bread under the broiler and having
with some really strong coffee for the afternoon 'social event.
Mon Dieu!
in between/while getting a chicken in the oven - Thai style - rubbed with
coriander, garlic, lime and salt, stuffed with the lemon rind and garlic.
Hope it's good.

No, the Swiss did! <grumble grumble>

You heathen! Raclette is eaten with white wine or with hot tea.
Coffee, ye gods!

Yep, I usually have cheese with wine, and I think white wine is for sissys!
Give me a glass of hearty red every time!
It was just too early in the day for me to start on wine. particulary when
there was cooking to do. You see, if I have one glass, I want more!
As for hot tea with cheese! Ye Gods! Nope, not in my lifetime.

In Switzerland, raclette is melted and eaten with potatoes boiled in
their skin, with fresh ground black pepper and pickles.
If you don't have a raclette oven, use a cold plate that goes into the
oven, put a quarter-inch-thick slice of raclette cheese on it - don't
cut out the edges, they are the best part, they become crispy when
melted! Melt it in a warm oven with only top heat (420F or more), until
it is melted all through and maybe took a little color.
Always use a cold plate for each new batch, otherwise the cheese will
be swimming in a bath of fat.

Hey, Mite, I like to hear different ways people prepare a food that I have
no knowledge about in the first place. I also would never have thought to
leave the edges on, I cut them off, sad to say, but there's still some left!
Thanks so much,
Dee Dee

You're welcome! Raclette is one of my favorite meal. I find it funny
that somebody would buy raclette cheese without knowing what a raclette
is. The word raclette comes from "racler" - scrape in French - since
you would melt the surface of a half wheel of cheese, and then scrape
the bubbling cheese over a plate of potatoes.

Heck, I didn't even know what raclette cheese was/is, let alone a raclette
is.
But here on rfc, one learns all sorts of 'yummy' things.
Like, on food network I learned what a panini grill was, etc. etc. etc.
I'm getting way too many appliances!
Thanks again & merci, it's fun to learn all these new things and have a
world of experience.

and if you've never heard of it... it's just a name, like Monterey
Jack.

I'm wondering if you could put a big hunk of the cheese under the
broiler for a minute or two and scrape off the melted stuff just like
you would with a real raclette. Didn't they originally melt raclette
do it in front of the fire in a fireplace?

Yes, you could. Yes, they did.
