In short: Fackelmann’s set of 6 wooden raclette spatulas is aimed at tables of six and at anyone whose original spatulas vanished somewhere between two winters. What stands out: six small 12.8 cm spatulas, wooden and plastic-free, that go easy on the pans, but that are not dishwasher-safe.

Our take
The raclette spatula is the thing nobody notices, until it goes missing. One always ends up under the table, another gets forgotten in a pan, and some guest scrapes their cheese with the handle of a fork. Fackelmann solves the problem six at a time: six small wooden spatulas, 12.8 cm long and 3.7 cm wide, 60 g for the whole set according to the Amazon.fr listing. The listing says it plainly: you never have enough spatulas or pans. Hard to argue with that.
On paper, the job is simple: scrape the melted cheese and slide it onto the potatoes without scratching the pan. Wood is well suited to that, and the listing describes them as plastic-free, handle included. The Fackelmann France website specifies FSC-certified wood and sells the same set under a “13 cm” title: that is 12.8 cm rounded up. The catch is a familiar one: no dishwasher. A rinse in hot water and an air dry, and they are ready for next winter. Fackelmann is a German family-run kitchenware group; the Amazon.fr listing gives Slovenia as the country of manufacture. The average rating on Amazon.fr was high when we checked.

What we like
- Six spatulas at once, one per guest
- FSC-certified wood, plastic-free
- Gentle on the pans’ coating
- Small size, 60 g for the whole set
Things to consider
- Not dishwasher-safe
- Wood does not like soaking
- Warranty not specified
- 12.8 cm: a little short for a deep pan
Who is it for?
For tables of six, and for topping up a set of eight when spatulas go missing faster than pans. Also for anyone who would rather keep plastic away from hot cheese.
If everything has to go in the dishwasher, though, heat-resistant plastic spatulas are a better fit. And if you are short of pans too, a pans-plus-spatulas pack saves you a second order.
Alternatives
- IPOW 8 square pans and 8 spatulas: when the pans are missing too, with beech spatulas.
- CÉCOA 4 pans and 4 spatulas: the same idea for a table of four.
- Little Balance Set Raclette Wood 4: four spatulas and four small wooden boards.

Recipes to make with it
- Traditional raclette, where the spatulas do the most work.
- Barbecue raclette, for scraping outdoors.
- Chocolate raclette, a sweet version where a wooden spatula still does the job.
