GRANA here;
Yet another "search" came up w/ this; more detailed answer:
"For those of you who haven't a clue, perhaps I'd better explain what it is. Raclette is essentially melted cheese, served over boiled potatoes with lots of ground black pepper, accompanied by small pickled onions and gherkins. The name comes from the French verb "racler", to scrape, because of the way the melted cheese is scraped off the block. Like everything with a strong tradition, there are lots of very strict dos and don'ts, which don't actually matter that much. After you've had it a couple of times you'll get to know what you like and what you don't. This is not so much a recipe as a description, because there's really nothing to it. Although, having said that, if you don't have the right equipment or ingredients, I'm afraid I can't be held responsible for the consequences. You'll need a raclette machine of some description. They come in approximately two varieties which are impossible to describe, so here's a couple of pictures, courtesy of www.widerview.com/" rel="nofollow">www.widerview.com who sell the things in the US." I hope this is "THE FINAL ANSWER"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  till we move on to those who haveactually tried it(how to& opinions:YAY/NAY worth trying??????????? w/ ideas&tips
