Raclette Dining
Discover the Midwest Raclette Signature Kit — our flagship offering designed to transform any gathering into an elegant, interactive culinary experience. Combining Swiss tradition with Midwest hospitality, this all-in-one set brings friends and family together around a warm, communal table where everyone becomes the chef.
What's included:
Midwest raclette grill — artisanal, table-ready centerpiece engineered for even melting and easy sharing
Charcuterie boards — premium wooden boards for serving an irresistible array of cured meats, fruit, and accompaniments
Wooden scrapers — handcrafted tools to scrape perfectly melted cheese onto plates
Bamboo tongs — lightweight, food-safe tongs for hygienic, hands-on serving
Tablecloth — thoughtfully chosen fabric to create a welcoming, refined table setting
Jar of cornichons — classic, tangy pickles, the essential finishing touch for raclette
Recipe and instructions — simple, elegant recipes and step-by-step guidance to ensure a flawless, sociable meal every time
Raclette is more than a dish — it’s a ritual. The Signature Kit emphasizes social interaction: guests gather around the grill, customize their plates, and share stories as each person melts their own cheese and assembles bites to taste. The tactile ritual of scraping warm, golden cheese paired with the crunch of cornichons and the variety on the char boards creates sustained conversation and conviviality.
Ideal for:
Intimate celebrations and dinner parties
Corporate team-building or client entertaining
Holiday meals and special occasions
Wine tastings and culinary events
The Midwest Raclette Signature Kit delivers an unforgettable dining experience that’s as much about connection as it is about flavor.
Invite your guests to gather, melt, scrape, and savor. The table is set; the conversation starts here.
Build a CUSTOM-THEME Raclette Party around the flavors you love — high-quality ingredients, creative combinations, and plenty of melty cheese.
