Electric Grills and Raclettes
Electric grills and raclettes include tabletop grills, contact grills and appliances for shared cheese meals, with grills from Huslog, AMZCHEF, MOVA, RUHHY and MultiGarden. They suit everyday cooking as well as meals prepared at the table. Choose according to the cooking layout and available counter space, then compare features such as a temperature probe, cooking programmes, a fully opening design or waffle plates.
Electric grills and raclettes cover open-surface grilling, cooking between contact plates and melting cheese for shared meals. The range includes Huslog and AMZCHEF grills, RUHHY contact grills, MOVA grills with cooking programmes and multifunctional MultiGarden appliances. Blaupunkt also combines contact grilling with waffle making, offering another cooking option within one appliance.
How to choose electric grills and raclettes
Start with the meals you prepare most often and the counter space available. Compare appliance dimensions, rated power and cooking-surface layout. A contact grill heats food between two plates, while an open tabletop layout lets you arrange ingredients side by side. Consider cooking programmes and a temperature probe separately, as they serve different purposes.
- Contact grills: Upper and lower plates heat food from both sides. This layout suits toasted sandwiches and other foods cooked between the plates.
- Tabletop grills: An open cooking surface provides space to arrange separate ingredients. Match the usable cooking area to the amount of food you normally prepare.
- 180° opening: A contact grill with this design can open with both plates horizontal. RUHHY offers a grill with this opening option.
- Multifunctional grills: MultiGarden and Blaupunkt offer appliances combining several cooking functions. For waffles, choose a grill specifically supplied with waffle plates.
- Programmes and probes: MOVA offers a grill with cooking programmes and a temperature probe. The probe measures temperature inside food, while programmes help with selecting a cooking mode.
A contact grill suits everyday toasted meals, an open tabletop grill accommodates ingredients side by side, and a raclette suits shared melted-cheese meals. Let the cooking method, working area and regularly used functions guide your choice.
