Lakeland Cheese Melter Raclette 4 "For the melted cheese lover" Mrs A Mitchell 20 November 2020 This is a large piece of equipment for melting Raclette cheese in the Swiss tradition. I have enjoyed Raclette in the Swiss hills in the past so was excited to try this out. The main problem I faced was tracking down some Raclette cheese which I finally found in a farm shop. The machine works well and the melted cheese is lovely on a baked potato or with some crusty bread. The parts do get hot so it is not suitable to be used near young children. I have only tried using it on the kitchen worktop so am not sure how well it would work in the middle of a table as the power cord is not very long.

Lakeland Cheese Melter Raclette 2 "It’s ok..." Mrs CLARKE 30 November 2020 The machine is a bit flimsy in comparison to what you might be used to in the alpes. It’s difficult To angle the cheese well and it’s also quite slow in melting. I’m sure with further use it will be easier but we weren’t overwhelmingly impressed with the machine. We will probably revert to using our existing one A note from the team You could try using larger pieces of cheese, but we're sorry this wasn't as expected.
Lakeland Cheese Melter Raclette 2 "Lakeland Raclette Cheese Melter" Lesley Salter 02 November 2020 This is a large piece of equipment that gets very hot - including the handles. Whilst it makes a very bold centrepiece for a table, the flex is not very long and would require an extension in most situations. It does melt the cheese - slowly - and is easy to assemble and operate. It takes quite a long time to cool and does not fold away, therefore requiring a large storage space. I tried this with a selection of other cheeses, without much success, so if Raclette is your favourite then this is definitely for you. Without doubt, the gift for someone who has everything and a large cupboard! A note from the team This review has been written by a My Lakeland Club member who received a free product sample from us. Raclette cheese is the ideal choice due to the way the machine cooks and melts, but other Swiss cheeses can be used such as emmental or gruyere. This does come apart for easy storage in the box.
