An electric raclette set can look impressively versatile on paper. In practice, though, some models can be disappointing. The grill plate may be too small, the temperature difficult to control, or cleaning may take longer than expected. If you’re looking at the Fritel Gourmet Wok Pancake GWP 2560, you’ll want to know more than just how many pans are included. It’s also worth checking whether it will fit your table, suit the number of diners and handle the dishes you have in mind.
A claim such as “for 8 people” doesn’t automatically mean that everyone will have the same amount of cooking space. Check how many mini wok pans and spatulas are included, and whether the grill plate is suitable for everyone to use at the same time.
According to the product information, the Fritel GWP 2560 comes with 8 wok pans and 8 plastic spatulas. It’s designed for 1 to 8 people. This makes it a practical raclette wok set for a family or group of friends, but you’ll still need enough room on the table: the appliance measures approximately 60.3 × 34.3 × 15.3 cm.
A non-stick coating generally helps stop food from sticking, but it still needs to be treated with care. Metal spatulas, scouring pads and overheating can damage the coating. The Fritel GWP 2560’s grill plate is described as having a fixed non-stick coating. The wok pans are listed as dishwasher-safe, but handwashing is recommended to help keep the coating in the best possible condition.
It’s also worth checking what ‘PFAS-free’ means. The product details for this model state PFAS-free: yes. For other raclette sets, always check that this is specifically mentioned in the product specifications. A general claim such as ‘healthy cooking’ doesn’t tell you much about the materials used.
Power affects energy use and how an appliance heats up, but it doesn’t tell you everything about the cooking experience. The Fritel Gourmet Wok Pancake GWP 2560 has a power rating of 1500 watts and variable temperature control. This is particularly useful when you’re switching between mini pancakes, eggs, wraps and wok dishes.
Individual pans are handy for a raclette set for 8 people, as everyone can combine their own ingredients. Eight wok pans and eight spatulas make it easy to share the cooking space around the table. Leave room around the appliance for plates, sauces and uncooked ingredients.
The Fritel GWP 2560 combines a fixed grill plate with separate wok pans. According to the product description, you can use the plate to cook savoury or sweet pancakes, fried eggs, mini pizzas and wraps, among other things. The pans are ideal for preparing vegetables, meat, herbs and sauces.
If you’re specifically looking for a tabletop grill for pancakes and wok dishes, check that the plate is flat enough for pancakes and that the pans are actually included. Some electric raclette sets have optional accessories or come with just four pans.
Variable temperature control gives you more control than a single fixed heat setting. According to the product information, the main unit has non-slip feet and handles for moving it. The base must not be submerged in water. The grill plate is fixed in place, so take extra care when cleaning around the edges.
Use wooden, plastic or silicone utensils, and allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning it. Stop using it if the non-stick coating becomes damaged.
