From the country that brought the world fondue comes another melty cheese method. Raclette is both a melty swiss cheese and, like fondue, a communal food experience. This grill has a broiler element that melts your cheese, raclette is the traditional cheese, but any melty cheese will work. A griddle or grill plate sits on top of the element, creating a surface to cook meats, veggies, and bread.  Put the cheese under the broiler as you heat your foods, then pull the food off and top with the melted cheese and enjoy.   There are other grills that support up to 8 people.   A great party item.
