What we make of it
On paper, the Pizzarette does for pizza what the raclette grill does for cheese: it brings the cooking to the middle of the table. Everyone rolls out their dough, tops their mini pizza of about 11 cm as they like, slides it under the terracotta dome with their insulated spatula, and watches it like a pot of milk on the stove. Two circuits heat the base and the top, aiming for a crisp crust and melted cheese. The handmade dome also gives the object a little artisan feel that makes a change from all-plastic appliances.
On the limits side, 900 W for four pizzas is reasonable but not blazing: the Testberichte.de summary notes cooking that is sometimes slow and advises preheating well. No thermostat either, according to Boulanger, so you manage by time and by eye. The stainless steel plate can’t be removed, which makes cleaning a bit harder. Finally, despite a name often filed next to raclette grills, none of the sources we read mentions cheese pans for this model: to do raclette and pizza with the same appliance, you need to aim for a 3-in-1 model.

Who is it for?
For families with kids who turn dinner into a workshop, for couples hosting two friends, and for those who already have a raclette grill and want another fun, social evening. On the other hand, if you want a single appliance for both raclette and pizza, or if you host eight, look at the 8-person version or a 3-in-1 model with raclette pans.
