What we take away
You can scrape a raclette with a table knife, just as you can hammer a nail with a shoe. The CCR is built for the job: a smooth stainless steel blade, wide enough (40 mm) to take the melted layer in one sweep and short enough (140 mm) to stay nimble in front of the heating element. Casselin describes it as the tool for lifting the melted layer and guiding it onto the plate, and aims it at Savoyard restaurants, buffets, caterers, markets and chalets.
The handle is wood, which has two consequences. The good one: a warm grip, literally, when you spend the evening next to a machine that gives off heat. The less good one: wood does not like water. Casselin advises not letting the handle soak, drying the knife carefully and storing it away from the heating area. The dishwasher is not mentioned; given that advice, we would skip it.
A word on weight: Casselin states 0.9 kg. That is a lot for a knife this size, and we have no other source to confirm or correct it, so we report the maker’s figure without being able to check it. At about €20 excluding VAT, it is in any case one of the cheapest items on a raclette station, and it is worth buying two so a clean one waits while the other works.

Who is it for?
For the restaurant, caterer or stall serving raclette from a quarter or half wheel that wants a dedicated tool next to the machine rather than one borrowed from the cutlery drawer. For home cooks who have invested in a proper wheel machine, too: the gesture is the same at home.
Who should skip it? People who serve raclette in small pans do not need it; a spatula will do. And anyone wanting a single tool to scrape and to cut the rind will prefer a double-edged model.
