Instructions
- Slice cheese and place in raclette melting pan. To help the cheese slide out of the pan better, you can brush a little butter onto the pan before adding the cheese, but many raclette pans are non-stick so it may not be necessary. You can also just place the cheese slices directly in a small non-stick skillet.
- Melt over candle flame (if provided with raclette pan), or place the pan on a flat-top griddle over low heat (I have found this way melts more evenly). If you are using a skillet, don't put the skillet over direct heat. Do as you would if you had a raclette pan and place it on the griddle to heat. This will allow you to heat it slowly.
- Heat slowly until the cheese melts. Heating the cheese too quickly will make the cheese separate and it won't have the desired melty texture.
- When cheese is melted, gently slide it out of the pan over your favorite bite-sized foods such as baby potatoes, pickles, cold cuts, or anything else you love slathered in cheese.
