Grill stone or pans: the best choice for your barbecues – Neary
Why choose a raclette grill stone? 🪨🔥
The raclette grill stone is becoming increasingly popular for its healthy and festive appeal. You simply place pieces of meat, fish, or vegetables directly on the stone, and they cook slowly without any added fat 🥩🥗. You have complete control over the cooking: rare, medium, or well-done. It's also great for adding variety: shrimp, mushrooms, eggplant slices… anything goes! And as for the atmosphere, the grill stone encourages sharing and conversation around the table 🥳.
The stone retains heat well, so even if you take your time, nothing cools down too quickly. It's the ideal option if you want to limit fat and prioritize the natural flavor of the food. A little tip: consider using light sauces or a squeeze of lemon to enhance your grilled dishes 😋.
The advantages of raclette pans 🫕🧀
It's impossible to imagine raclette without its famous raclette pans! They melt the cheese perfectly and also brown ham, onions, or vegetables in just a few minutes. The pans are incredibly easy to use: everyone customizes their portion, mixes the ingredients as they like, and keeps an eye on the cooking. It's the guarantee of a warm and interactive meal 🤗.
Besides cheese, you can have fun creating mini gratins, baked eggs, or even quick desserts (banana-chocolate, why not? 🍫🍌). These frying pans are therefore synonymous with creativity and fun!
Cooking, flavors, and conviviality: what to choose? 🥩🥒
- Grill stone: gentle cooking, no strong cheese odor, pure food flavor, ideal for those who like to grill meats and vegetables without excess fat. A practical way to add variety to your meals.

Maintenance, safety and usage tips 🧽🦺
Proper maintenance is key to enjoying your appliance for a long time! The grill stone needs a quick rinse with hot water after it has cooled down; avoid thermal shock 🔥🚫. You can gently scrape it with a wooden spatula to remove any residue. The pans are often dishwasher-safe, but check the instructions to avoid damaging the coating.
Safety first: be careful not to touch the hot stone or let children handle the raclette pans unsupervised. Always place the appliance on a stable surface and keep it away from flammable objects. For an even more enjoyable raclette experience, find all our tips on the Neary raclette page 🛡️.
