• Can you cook anything other than raclette with these appliances? Yes! The multi-function models also allow you to grill vegetables, cook eggs, or even make pancakes, depending on the model.
• How to prevent cheese from sticking? Use non-stick ramekins, lightly butter them or clean them well before use.
