Trudeau 1200 Watt Aluminum Rockin' Grill Party Grill Set, Set of 19-Pieces

Have had this grill for the past month, have used it only for raclette and not he grill portion yet. It seems great with stone and steal.. slick design.It's a great buy!

This is the perfect grill for that special interactive dinner, similar to fondue cooking where each person partakes in their dinner preparation. The raclette cheese melted under the broiler perfectly as the vegetables and meats cooked on the top surface. Once melted, the raclette cheese is poured over hot boiled potatoes, the other vegetables are slightly softened, yet crisp, with perfect grill marks, and the meats (prosciutto, capicola, black forest ham) are hot. The temperature settings allowed excellent cooking accuracy w/in 5 minutes with no mess. We love this grill!

I bought this Raclette Set without any research, after deciding i wanted to do a raclette dinner that evening, and this was the only one i could find (left over floor model from Fry's, 8th store i checked). But I'm really happy with it. It's nice that it has 8 places, (many sets only have 4) which makes it useful for larger parties. While i am careful with the teflon trays, i use the set a lot, and up to now they are fine. I found the idea of half stone/half metal grill to be interesting. I'm still not quite sure about the benefit of the stone, as all models i had used before just had metal. It's a pain to clean. And since i don't have the manual (floor model) I still don't know if it's dishwasher safe.Durable product, looks great, works very well.
