Valentine’s Day Raclette Grill Giveaway!

February 3rd, 2014

Valentine’s Day Raclette Grill Giveaway!

Have you seen these amazing contraptions known as a Raclette Grill? They seem to be all the rage lately. I keep seeing them pop up all over the place. I was first introduced to the wonderful world of Raclette a couple of years ago when we were visiting my sister-in-law and her family. It was one of the best discoveries of my lifetime. (I am THAT into cheese.) Lucky for me my hubby bought me one of my very own for my birthday last year. The Raclette grill is fun for the whole family, as a couple or an at home group date night. We love getting together with friends for a Raclette party.

So what exactly is a Raclette Grill? The first thing you should know is that Raclette is a type of cheese. Now I could get all technical on you and inform you that Raclette is a Semi-hard cheese that has a very distinctive pleasant, aromatic smell with a creamy texture, similar to Gruyere cheeses, which does not separate even when melted. The flavour can vary from nutty, slightly acidic to milky. I could even tell you that traditionally it is served with small potatoes, gherkins, pickled onions and air dried meat called Viande des Grisons. However, really all you need to know is that it is delicious and just writing about it makes me want to run to the store and buy some for dinner tonight.

The grill is meant to be used with Raclette cheese, because it does not separate when melted as some other cheeses do. The nonstick top surface grills meats, seafood and vegetables while melting Raclette cheese to perfection below. When we gather with friends for a night of Raclette, we like to have a variety of choices to be topped with cheese. Some of our families favorites are:

Marinated Steak and Chicken (We like this one)
Shrimp
Baby Red Potatoes (my personal favorite)
Steamed vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, carrots
Bell Peppers
Onions
Mushrooms
Sliced Apples and Pears
Toasty Bread, such as a baguette

Some of the vegetables need to be steamed or boiled first, it just helps move things along a little quicker. The nice thing is you can do all that ahead of time, because you can warm them on the grill before eating. Obviously when we enjoy Raclette as a family we stick to our favorites or what we happen to have on hand that day.

Another great feature that I love is that the grill top flips over and is perfect for making Crepes. Since we are coming up on Valentine’s Day either these Red Velvet Crepes or Chocolate Crepes would be great for dessert after your finished with your Raclette Dinner. Don’t you think?

Because this is one of my favorite things and I think makes for a fun and casual Valentine’s Day either with family or friends; we are giving away a Swissmar KF-77080 8-Person Stelvio Raclette Party Grill with Reversible Grill Top . {Over $100 Value}

We love this grill year round really, but how perfect would this be for Valentine’s Day.
