I bought some raclette individual pans with wooded tray to set them on in Germany 49 years ago and have never used them. I see elec. pans now with granite or grill tops and spaces underneath to melt the cheese. I've read lots of reviews, looked at several sites and am wanting some good info from the cooks on this site.

My initial thoughts are that you need the hottest heat you can get and that granite may not be the best option as it may crack with usage, altho the review says that's not a problem. What things have you learned using the elec. raclettes?
